Razia Farooq, also known as Rosie, emerges as a community trailblazer in Shahgund (Hajin), actively involved in Self Help Groups (SHGs) since 2019. In 2022, the young Kashmir woman founded Shining Star with ten other women, introducing Rahat, a brand dedicated to crafting women's personal use products. Successfully registered in August 2022, Rahat's products achieved a flawless 100 per cent cleanliness rating after rigorous tests in Srinagar and Mumbai. The initiative, initially supported by GIAN and the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM), focuses on women's empowerment and self-employment. Despite facing challenges, including reaching distant markets, Rahat's sanitary pads are now available in cooperative supermarkets. The production process involves daily lab tests, ensuring top-notch quality.
