SHETAKARI MAHILA NIDHI LIMITED

We are located at House No. 331 in Ward No. 06, over in Gajanan Nagar. Nagpur is a big city, but our little corner of it feels quite local and familiar. The name on the door is Shetakari Mahila Nidhi Limited, and we spend most of our time working with the women and farmers from the surrounding area. The office is basically a room in a house, so it has a very lived-in feel. There is usually a pot of tea on the go and a lot of chatter happening between the staff and the visitors. We don't have a fancy computer system that does everything; we still rely a lot on our handwritten books and folders. The floor is tiled and easy to sweep, which is good because people are always coming and going. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon, so we just open the door to let the natural light in so we can keep reading the numbers. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are inside, but we make it work somehow. We’ve been in Gajanan Nagar for a while, and the neighbors know us well. We don't put on any acts or try to look more important than we are. We just stay here at House 331 and do the work that needs doing, day in and day out, until it’s time to lock up and head home.
