Social welfare and cooperation minister, Nemcha Kipgen said that Renu is such a dynamic cooperative leader and the state needs more people like her to be economically independent.

She was making this speech as the chief guest at the opening ceremony of 28 branches of Renu Handloom and handicraft Co-operative Society Limited at Hotel Classic Grande, Chingmeirong today.

She applauded the effort of Arambam Renu Devi for her consistent dedication to help and employ the downtrodden people. This is the fruit of her hard work, she added.

Nemcha said, ‘Renu is an exemplary cooperative and if there are more people like her in the state, the state will be economically developed and independent’.

She highlighted the life story of Renu and said that she started her business in the year 1991 and registered as a cooperative in 1992 with just 110 members. After 25 years, her continuous effort has spread to bigger areas covering 14 districts of the state and even to Kohima in Nagaland, with 28 branches and 1110 workers for her.

She appreciated her labours saying that out of 1110 workers, 500 of them are orphans and widows under her own care and adopted them as her own children.

Renu has won two national awards for her cooperative skills, for best Cooperative Excellency award in 2012 in primary level, given by National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) and recently in September 2017, she was awarded Laxman Rao Inamdar National Award for Co-operative Excellence.

Speaking at the occasion, Renu said that she is uneducated yet she tried her best to understand the subjugated people and their needs. She said that being called the ‘mother’ of those who do not have anything is the greatest privilege for her in her mission.

She also advocated that hills are her people and valley is only the home of her husband. She also said that peace and true love cannot be brought by microphone, but only work and deeds will.

Her products are sold in different parts of the country and even exported to other countries like Italy, Germany, China, Bangladesh and others.

Renu’s future plan is to participate in implementation of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), to train 3000 women, to open another 25 training centres and to generate revenue of Rs.2 crores in 2017-2020 from textile industries.

The opening function was attended by political advisor to the chief minister, R.K. Ranjan Singh, former minister for science and technology, Khashim Ruivah and former chairman of IMC, Moirangjao Gangmei as presidium members.
