Bakery industry helps girls stand on their own feet

Demand rising in Punjab, Nagaland, Delhi and Gujarat too 

Mohali//Ludhiana:2nd October 2024: (Kartika Kalyani Singh//The Women Screen Desk)::

Apart from education and marriage, there are many other things that are needed at every step in life. The most important among these is the money earned through honest earnings, which strengthens the financial backbone and also establishes one's feet very well in the society. This is where the continuous series of other successes in life begins.

Our team had seen girls active in the world of baking a long time ago in the royal city of Punjab, Patiala. These girls came to the Kisan Mela organized there with their families. The sisters, brothers and parents of these girls were all working with them with great enthusiasm. The cakes, biscuits, pastries and many other baking items made by them were selling very quickly at their stall. They had taken all this training from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, which made them completely self-reliant.

To start the business, the family invested a little and government departments also helped them with subsidies. Soon the business started to take off. They also started needing a house. Within a year and a half, these girls not only recovered their investment but also started making profits. Because the products were clean, fresh and tasty, their popularity also increased. Big orders for weddings and other events started coming in. They themselves did not remember when their desire to work was left behind.

Even today, in the world of baking, there is a remarkable group of girls who are not only pursuing their passion but also turning it into home businesses. Their journey is a testament to hard work, creativity and determination. These young entrepreneurs are turning their baking dreams into reality through strategic investments and innovative marketing techniques. 

Good news of similar successes of such girls has also come from Nagaland. There too, proper education and training has been arranged for them. It is in great demand in Delhi, Mumbai, Gujarat and other parts.

Education guides every case and plays a key role in their success. Many have also sought out workshops and courses that enhance their skills and broaden their understanding of the business landscape. They form strong teams, collaborate with each other to share insights and support each other’s efforts. By using various tools—whether it’s social media platforms for marketing or budgeting tools for financial management—they are creating a path that inspires others.

It’s encouraging to see how these girls uplift each other while facing challenges in the baking industry. Their stories remind us that with passion, education, and teamwork, dreams can truly grow as beautifully as freshly baked bread!

These true success stories have created a new history. A new chapter has been written. A new path has been shown. This path leads to destinations where the saying “Apna Haath Jagannath” (Holding my own hands) starts proving true.

You too should take inspiration from them. You will move from the crowd of job seekers to the category of job providers. Bakery is only one field that we have discussed. There are many other fields open whose paths and destinations are calling you.
