They shared a bond with almost every other person in the village. One of the most difficult tasks of researching in an unfamiliar space is not being able to connect with the people, the primary source of information for any researcher. This problem was eliminated for us by not just the organizing cooperative society (Thavar Mandali), its Chairperson and Secretary but also the people who were eager to not only talk to us about their day to day life, their problems but also were equally interested in knowing about us while respecting our privacy. They took extra efforts to ensure we felt safe and secure. Every household here had at least one ATM Card Holder and most of the villagers owned a television set.enRural development & problemsstudy by students
