A women self-help group (SHG) is making designer masks and sanitizers in Serkheri village in the capital Raipur district under the 'Bihan' scheme of the Indian state of Chhattisgarh government. It is also a source of income for these women. SHG women started working there after the Chhattisgarh government set up a center in Serkhedi village four months ago.

Ishwari Dehria, a member of Serkhedi SHG, told the media, "With the help of Zilla Panchayat we earn 200 rupees daily for 8 hours. We make 100 normal and designer masks. Machine and cloth are provided by the government. I was just a housewife, but now I am a bread earner for my family. This happened due to the efforts of Gaurav Singh, District Panchayat CEO of Raipur.
