His monthly income at that time was approximately ₹6,000. With the support of the SMARTPUR Project, his centre was equipped with a solar power system, inverter, webcam, improved electrical infrastructure, lamination machine, tables, chairs, and other essential digital equipment. In addition, the project strengthened the centre's basic infrastructure, significantly improving the quality and efficiency of the services provided. As a result of the resources, regular handholding support, and capacity building provided through the project, Devilal's income increased substantially. His monthly earnings rose from ₹8,000 to approximately ₹20,000, significantly improving his family's financial condition. Today, he is able to serve a much larger number of people by providing a wide range of digital, banking, and government services through his SMARTPUR Centre. He has established himself as a trusted service provider within the local community. According to Devilal, the SMARTPUR Project has not only provided him with modern infrastructure and digital resources but has also enhanced his confidence, strengthened his livelihood, and created a sustainable pathway toward long-term economic growth.
