A fair lady is selling many other educational materials along with Tiffin among the female students at a small shop at the very south-east corner of the renowned Gobindapur High School at the village Gobindapur. She is very popular to her young customers. They call her "Parvin Apa" with great respect.

Parvin Begum is a married woman. She has four children. But her husband is unemployed. He could hardly earn for his family. They were passing their days with difficulties. Parvin Begum and her husband Badal Mia had ability to do something but in want of they could not engage themselves into any income generating activities for better earnings.

At that moment she came to know the project named 'Palli Progoti Prokolpa' of Palashtali Union. Parvin Begum met Mariam Begum the field organizer of the project. Mariam Begum informed her that the BRDB has taken a poverty alleviation project in Palashtali Union named 'Palli Progati Prokolpa'. The landless, the small farmers and the distressed or helpless woman are to be organized in a separate informal groups to improve their socio-economic condition. They will be given training for skill development. After training they will be issued loan for income generating activities. Mariam Begum also explained the rules and regulations of the project. Parvin Begum, being very much inspired, formed 'Gobindapur Kandapara Mahila Group' at the village Gobindapur Kandapra. By forming this group, Parvin Begum began to dream to build a good fortune in her frustrated life.

In the year 2003, under this project, she has got Tk. 5,000/- as loan for small trade. With this amount of money she formed a small shop at the corner of Gobidapur High school. In her shop she kept all the educational materials and tiffin. In the way she began to earn much. She paid the installment of loan in due time from her good income. Again she has taken Tk. 7,000/- in 2005 and Tk. 10,000/- in 2006 repaying the previous loan. With this money she enriched her shop. Now a day she keeps not only tiffin and educational materials but also various kinds of cosmetics and necessaries for the female students.

Her husband Badal Mia had a small piece of land, which remained unused for want of capital. But now at the inspiration of his wife, he started to cultivate vegetables at the plot of land. After family consumption, he sells the vegetables at the market. He is also helping his wife at his leisure time at her shop.

Parvin Begum's family is now a family without hardship. She is now leading a fine life. She is now having her two full meals a day. Her children are now going to school regularly.

A family of daily crying and hardship is now smiling in joy and happiness. She has got a social status and also dignity in the society.
