"FOD not only helped me in expanding my trade of readymade garments which was running at a miniscule level, but also guided me in getting loan from Bhartiya Yuva Shakti Trust, to provide STD service. Now after 9 months, I've made substantial monetary gains from my business and have installed 2 PCO connections along with STD. My wife too has joined me in my business. I'm also comfortably paying off the loan through the income from my trade."
