“Earlier, I had to wait for my husband to come back from work to plough the field at the beginning of the cultivation season. Sometimes, it would get late too. After learning to drive, I can do it whenever I want and it also makes me feel very proud, to be able to completely work in my field without being dependent on anyone,” said Sarita, Zaheerabad.
