She also earns 5,000\u20136,000 per month from tailoring. Her mother-in-law runs a vegetable vending business, also supported by OLM, generating INR 6,000\u20138,000 monthly.<\/p>\n<p>With the new income, her husband transitioned from unskilled labor to a marketing agent, earning INR 15,000\u201320,000 monthly.
