Tirhut Village Development Nidhi Limited

Tirhut Village Development Nidhi Limited has its setup in Gorgawan village, over in the Sugauli block. We are located at Muktar Yadav’s place in the Gorgawantola area. It’s a very rural spot, part of the Mali panchayat. Most of the people around here are involved in farming, so our hours often follow the sun and the seasons. We don't have a big office with air conditioning. It’s a simple room where we keep our registers and a few chairs for visitors. People come by after they finish their work in the fields to talk about their savings or to see how their accounts are doing. We write everything down in big ledgers. It’s a very manual process, but it works for us and the people in the village. We’ve been here for a bit, and people have gotten used to seeing us at our desks every day. We don't use a lot of complicated words when we talk to folks. We just explain how the system works and how it helps the village. Sometimes the power goes out, so we work by the light from the door or a small lamp. It isn't a fancy life, but it’s good to be part of the community in Gorgawan. We know the struggles of the local families because we live right here with them. We aren't outsiders trying to sell something; we are just neighbors who keep this office to manage the local files.
