Lacchi enjoys working in the paddy field. She has to
lookafter 7 fields, the cattles, the household and the
children. She hardly gets any time for herself.
The women lead a tough life in the Uttaranchal villages.
They have to work on the fields, collect fodder for
the cattle and lookafter the children and the household
as well. On an average, every women works 16-18 hours
a day.
In most of the families, men have migrated to cities
for employment. So women are the sole caretakers of
the fields, household and the family.
