On the other hand, women are given the label of homemaker and a person who is quite helpful, polite and is responsible for making everything (clean clothes, food, clean home, etc.) available to the family members on time. Well, these trends were followed in the beginning and not at present. Today many successful women have come up as an inspiration for the society and are playing roles of both man and woman for their family, and turning the world upside down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">A couple of two such women, which are originated from a small village (Chanarthal Khurd) of Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, are today running their own successful phulkari business by leading a group of 10 women from their village. This couple of women are a \u201cMother-Daughter Duo\u201d which manages every functioning of the business very smoothly. The head of the group is Sunita Devi (mother) and Beant Sharma (daughter). Beant as being an active, young and communicative member, is the one who represents the group on every platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1996 Sunita Devi\u2019s husband expired and for the family, it was a distressing situation. Since then it became very difficult for the family members to survive. But, gradually with the time Sunita Devi and her children recovered from that shock and start peddling slowly, to make their life smooth and get back on the track. They faced many difficulties and crossed many hurdles to reach where they are today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anganwadi tried to help the women of that village on a local level and formed a self-help group in 2012. And Sunita Devi\u2019s daughters were the member of this self-help group. They were working so hard on every piece of the phulkari suit, dupatta, shawls, and jackets, but they were not getting the real worth of their produced products. Nothing was properly managed. So, in one of the PUNFED meeting, Beant Sharma expressed her and other women\u2019s problems; after that two groups were created in May 2017 &#8211; \u201c<strong>SHRI GURU ARJAN DEV SELF HELP GROUP<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cDEVI ANNAPOORNA GROUP\u201d. Sunita Devi was made the president of \u201cSHRI GURU ARJAN DEV SELF HELP GROUP\u201d and Beant was the re-presenter of the group. Well yes, it was a group effort, but Beant\u2019s willpower and Sunita Devi\u2019s strength to support her daughter is what helped in the formation of this group. And when love and skill work together, it is expected to get a masterpiece.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, due to financial crisis Beant and other children were forced to stop their studies in the middle, but now as the things are going good, Beant and other girls are planning to continue their studies. Beant has planned to pursue BA privately from Punjabi University.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Sunita Devi\u2019s family, there are total six members, four daughters, one son and she herself. Son is working with Honda City in Gujarat on the contract basis and the four daughters are supporting the mother in running their group. Beant is the active one, out of all the four and represent the group in different events and exhibitions. Now Sunita Devi and Beant are connected to a large mesh of customers and they sell their products themselves to their customers and get the right value of their produced goods. Beant is a young girl and she is well-aware about the current marketing trends and she is also following them. She is connected with all the customers through WhatsApp group and you can get their phulkari by just ordering them and it will get delivered at your home. The handcrafted products made by this group are really very beautiful, unique and best in quality. They buy their raw material from Sirhind and make phulkari suit, dupatta, keyrings, book markers, shawls, jackets and other home decor things out of it. In future, they are planning to come up with more phulkari products with creative designs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Message By Mother-Daughter Duo<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\"><em>&#8220;<\/em><em>A woman has the potential of doing everything, it\u2019s all about the inner strength and determination.
