The boats running on the calm waters of Pilkha Dam in Pahargaon of Surajpur district no longer only provide a ride to tourists but also tell the story of struggle, courage and success of women.

A lack of resources, a lack of technical know-how, and numerous operational challenges loomed. But instead of giving up, these women resolved to turn challenges into opportunities. They took on the responsibility of boating operations, security management, and tourist amenities themselves, and gradually turned their efforts into success.
Today, tourists visiting Pilkha Dam enthusiastically enjoy boating. This initiative has generated an income of 74,000 rupees for the group so far. This has not only strengthened the women's financial situation but also significantly increased their self-confidence and social respect.The group members say they never imagined operating tourism activities and creating employment for themselves. Today, they are not only increasing their family income but also inspiring other women to become self-reliant.

This boat, sailing on the waves of Pilkha Dam, is no longer just a means of tourism but has become a powerful symbol of women's empowerment, entrepreneurship, and a self-reliant India.
