SHRIRAJLAXMI GRAMIN VIKAS NIDHI LIMITED

This is the office for Shrirajlaxmi Gramin Vikas Nidhi Limited. We are located at House Number 104A in Khardi. That's in the Shahapur taluka. Khardi is a small place. Most people here are involved in farming or local trades. We set up here to be close to the people. It’s easier for them to come to us than to travel to the bigger towns. The office is very basic. We have a table, some chairs, and a lot of registers. We spend most of our day writing things down by hand. Shahapur is a bit of a way off, so we’re the main point for folks in Khardi. It gets rainy here in the monsoon. Sometimes the roof leaks a little, but we move the papers out of the way. We’re just a small team. Everyone knows everyone else's name. It feels more like a community spot than a business. We don't have any shiny signs. Just the name plate outside. We do what we can to help with small loans and savings. It’s honest work. We stay open until the sun goes down usually. Sometimes later if there's a lot of work to finish up. We don't mind the extra hours. It's part of living and working in a village like this. There’s a tea stall just down the road that brings us snacks in the afternoon. It keeps us going through the paperwork. It is just a simple life here.
