SUJATA MUTUAL BENEFIT NIDHI LIMITED

We are located over at Pintu Debnath’s place in Shankardev Nagar. It is not a big office building or anything like that, just a regular spot on Patta Number 111, right by Dag Number 426. If you are coming through Lanka in the Hojai district, you might have to ask around a bit to find us, but most people nearby know the way. Sujata Mutual Benefit Nidhi Limited is basically just a few of us sitting around helping people with their small savings and bits of paperwork. The Nagaon heat can get a bit much in the afternoons, so we usually keep the windows open to catch whatever breeze comes through. We aren't trying to be anything we’re not. There is no receptionist at a big desk or fancy carpets. We just have some wooden chairs and a table where we sit and talk to anyone who walks in. Mostly it is local farmers or small shop owners from the area. We know their names and they know ours. It feels more like a community gathering sometimes than a workplace. We stay busy with the files and the accounts, making sure everything is written down correctly in the books. It gets dusty sometimes because of the roads, but we don't mind much. It’s just how life is here. We do our work, close up when the sun goes down, and then head home like everyone else in the village.
