R2- No.

M1- Ok.

M1- As we know that women face violence in their home like getting beaten up by their husband, facing
abuses, other domestic violences, is there any woman in the village who is facing such issues?

R1- No sister what would we tell.

M1- It happens in every village, so tell me where does it happen?

R1- Now there are 150 houses in the village, where one or two cases might be coming in night, who looks
after such things?

M1- Like facing such abuses? Now you tell fourth sister?

R4- It might be happening sometimes somewhere (laughs)

(Indistinct chatter)

M1- Like as now the sister told that some women face such abuses in their home like getting beaten?

(Indistinct chatter)

M1- I'm asking you straight that do some women get beaten?

R2- Yes.

M1- Do any husband best his wife?

R2- Yes.

M1- Like as the Alka sister was telling in the morning that she didn't want to go to the field but her husband
made her bound to come to the field?

R1- Yes.

M1- Tell in Hindi.

(Not audible)1:03:00
M1- Tell quickly it will be over now.

M1- Yes you told ver good. Now tell us there's something else related to such work?

R1- No not such things.(Laughter)

M1: Now we will talk about trust, right?

M1- Alright, let's move forward. Okay sister, you think about the entire GRC, SHG, LAK, NAK, CRP, all
of these, and tell me how effective and helpful they are in fulfilling the needs of village women?

M1- The programs that are being run, the work being done by the groups, and those involved in NAK,
LAK, and other activities – how effective are they in addressing the needs of village women? How good are
they at fulfilling their requirements?

R1: Yes, they’re good.

M1: How good is it?

R2- Very good.

M: Why is it good?

R2- Because they bring work, they bring schemes, and they inform about things there, they explain all the
work, that's why it's good.

M1: Because they bring work, they bring schemes for you all that’s why it's good? So, there are many
benefits for you all, meaning the women, that's why it's good. Okay. Alright, think a bit more about this
program, and tell me, the ongoing activities, meetings, savings, your regular visits, the training and
guidance you receive – all those who are working in these programs, like the many sisters who are
involved, right? So, in this program, what efforts are being made, what are they trying to achieve?

R1: They are making efforts to help us progress further.

M1- Whom are they trying to progress further?

R1: They are trying to help the sisters progress further.

M: They are also trying to help the sisters and the women of the village to progress further, right?

R2- Yes, they are making efforts so that the people of the village also improve and progress.
M1- Do you think that the program that is being implemented can further improve the lives of women? Like
what they are currently doing – saving, providing loans, conducting meetings, promoting education,
cleanliness, and so many other activities. They are doing a lot of work. Apart from these, what do you think
can be done to enhance the lives of women?

R2: And also make efforts to boost the confidence of women going forward.

M1: So, how can the confidence of women be boosted?

R2: Make efforts to boost confidence during meetings. Encourage them to speak up and explain that
progress comes from moving forward.

M1- What else can be done to better women’s lives? Tell me. Like I'm speaking about those who are
running the program, they are already doing so much work and because of this, women have improved
compared to before. So, for them to become even better, what else can be done?

R1- More training and workshops can be provided.

M1- How much trust do you have in the GRC, SHG, and GPP programs to improve the lives of women?

R1- We trust them a lot.

M1- Is there a specific reason for having so much trust in these programs?

R3: Because these activities bring people together, communicate, and help women strive for progress.

M1: So, what else can be done in this program to further increase your trust in it?

R2: Bring in more work opportunities and introduce new schemes.

M2: What kind of work opportunities should be brought in?

R2: Bring in some work from the panchayat, any kind of work that brings benefits, like housing.

M1: Alright, if there are any points that were missed during the conversation, you can let me know. I've
had a detailed conversation with you, but if you feel there's something I should have asked and it's on
your mind, you can ask me.
R1- No, we don't have anything else.

M1: Have all your questions been asked?

M2: Alright then, thank you very much to all of you for giving us your time.
