The face of India that is rarely shown

This is Vandana Shinde. She lives in Bhadumari in Yavatmal district of Maharashtra. Her husband committed suicide because of crop failure and left her with two small children and Rs. 85, 000 in debts. She has neither her family nor her in-laws to support her. She works in her village and gets Rs 25 per day. On account of her children she works only 3 or 4 days in a week. Whatever she gets from her work goes in paying the debts she took those days when she was not working.
She has 3.5 acres of land but that is not cultivable.
