Sita Dhakal, the manager of CO says, “the Village Development Programme has helped to bring several positive changes in the lives of the community members through a set of initiatives.” The DLGSP initially helped them form a community organisation and all the members have been saving Rs. 50 every month in a common savings fund which gives loans to the members of the organisation on priority basis to start up any business, charging a very low rate of interest- 18 % as compared to 36 % charged by the money lenders.
