“In our village, there’s not much to do, except farming, agriculture, plucking cashews, a little dairy work and the tradition of bamboo weaving. Nowadays, few of our men have government jobs or travel to Tuem, Tivim, Karaswada or even Panjim to work. But our women find it hard to find employment and the only avenue is to sell vegetable on the highway but nobody stops and our village folk also are moving away from agriculture,” explains Valmati Gaonkar.
