[Shares a recording with Alkaben Thakor and Shantaben Kantibhai Ashodiya]. Daliben says that the decisions of house are taken by discussing with all the family members. When asking about problems in her life she says she has problem of water and money which is very serious. They have not grown anything in their farm as there is no water for agricultural activities. Even in last monsoon they were not able to produce anything because of less rains. Both husband and wife do labour work. When asking her about the payment they get from labour work is very less so how they manage to pay fees of their sons she said that they take debt from the relatives. They have debt of 2-3 lakhs.

There was waterlogging till month after flood.
