[Shares a recording with Daliben Amthabhai Parmar and Shantaben Kantibhai Ashodiya]. When asking about decision making and her [Alkaben] voice in family she confidently said that my husband listens to me and all the decisions are taken by discussion with family members. The lady says she has farm but there is no water facility so they can not do any agricultural activity. Both husband and wife migrate for work and do labour work in other farms or do mason work. In the time of flood they faced land wash and were not able to do any agriculture activity in monsoon season. They feel that if Bhungroo will be installed to their land it will make their life more easier due to water facility and will open the door for better livelihood.
