That feeling of emptiness of not possessing an object or talent makes an individual greedy or envious towards others, who possess them. But this story is not about any fancy object like jewellery or money; it is about possessing the opportunity of getting literate.
Being an illiterate woman in this society, it was not easy for Maya to live her life, as being an illiterate she was exploited on many accounts in her everyday life. Being a mother of two and a housewife she strongly believes in nurturing her children and taking good care of her family.
Her priority in life has always been her family and their needs and their gratification. She always understood that illiteracy limits an individual from their overall growth and it also affects their overall functioning and growth. As per her prior to joining the Badlaav course she only knew about her surroundings, and was completely unaware of the basic capabilities of writing, reading or inculcating in basic calculations and numeracy skills. But now she has grasped and has learnt those skills and applies them currently in her day-to-day life.
She says that the program has helped her in propagating a message that “village women too can read and write and the only thing they require is a bit of handholding for a limited span of time, to grasp the knowledge which is being shared with them.”

Manju had done a Certified Skill Course in Stitching after she completed her Class 12th, post which in a few years’ time, she was made to marry and henceforth moved to Delhi. She worked as a Tailor for the last 20 years in Delhi, supplementing the family income and garnering a loyal committed customer base. Then came children, two daughters and a son, but Manju Devi kept on. Somewhere along the way, she decided to also train young girls and women in her community on stitching and tailoring. These tuition classes helped support her family financially. With the combined income of her husband, their house was running smoothly. And then came the pandemic!
