behave with them, and give the work
and in the way they give it to the boys, is
there any difference in that?

tell the girls that what will you do by
doing a job, I’m doing a job and you do

studies after working. That is okay.

exam so she quit school, her mother told
her to study and her father was also like
he used to hit her mother, like my aunty
also got married at 18 and she thought
that her daughter should not have a life
like her, so her mother explained her but
she didn’t understand.

M: But have you ever thought of quitting

school?

R: No, there is no such thing, my mother

says study as much as you like, it will be
useful to you.

M: Do you enjoy school and studies?

R: Yes, I like to study and I like to play

also.

M: Is there any subject that you like

besides sports?

R: I like Hindi and Sanskrit.

the teacher told her to do a stitching
M: What do you think when we say
marriage?

R: It feels good.

M: Do you have any fear?

R: Yes, because there is no one from our

house, but my mom will go with me, but
she says that I won’t go with you. That
you feel scared when your mother-in-
law will taunt you

M: But you like it?

R: No, but I have to do it in life.

[01:20:00]

M: Do you think you can choose your

husband?

R: Time will tell that.

M: Now you know your family and village

people, do you think you can choose or
not?

R: My mom, then you will like, keep him

in front of me, I will make you marry him,
don’t run because then it would damage
the name, as I have one neighbor, she
ran away.

M: Then do you think that the one you

will like, it can be the one?
M: Now we will talk about last 2 years,
when you participated in this Plan-it
Program, so tell me this thing that you
have talked about self-confidence and
all, that you can go out and talk on your
own and all, and all these things, so if
need anything in school or in home, do
you feel the need?

R: When I have periods, then I tell ma’am

to give me pad and ma’am gives it, it is
there in the staff room. There is one
white color medicine in our school, so
when we eat it, the germs inside our
stomach get killed, so we get it every
year.
M: Tell me about the Plan-it program?

R: What should I tell?

M: First tell me the thing that you were

telling me and then tell?

R: Once my neighbor came to me, so she

was having periods, so she started crying
that what would I do, then her mom said
that what should I do, so I told her that
show her to a doctor, so her mom said
that it is not good to show a doctor, what
he will do and took her back.

the girls life, then we want to know between
13 to 16 years, between 16 to 18, between

M: Okay, and does she eat?

R: Yes, she eats everything like biscuits and

all the outside things.

M: Okay, does she study?

R: She studies, but she doesn’t pay attention

about this exam, so you will have to fill those
application forms, there are introduce you
like to clear those interview as well, then

So, I was asking that you know how things
happen at your place, now we will talk about
our home, now tell me who all live in your
family?

R: My elder brother, the father is not there.

M: Who does your brother do?

R: He does a private job, he is in hospital,

and he looks after the patients.

M: What is his age?

R: 35.

M: What else?

R: He and sister are married then after that

one more sister who is also married.

M: Okay, what are their ages, do they stay at

R: No, one of my sisters lives with us

because her husband’s job is in Delhi, and
one more sister is there and she is married.

M: Where is she?

R: Tigri Khanpur.

M: So, she lives somewhere else?

R: Yes, she stays with her in-laws.

M: Okay, so the sister that lives with you,

What do you think about how your
relationship with your family members is?
How is it, are you able to talk to them?

R: I don't talk to the elder brother because I

am scared of him. I don't speak at all in front
of him. It's not like he doesn't talk, he does,
but when I was young, I used to talk with
him freely, but not now. I talk freely with my
younger brother. He is elder than me.

M: Does your elder brother scold you?

R: No, he doesn't, but he is stressed because

of his wife and then the responsibilities of
the house. He is the eldest in the house.
When he comes back from the job, I give
tea; whatever things are needed, I ask him, I
don't talk unnecessarily with him. With
mom, I can talk freely, I also talk freely with
my elder sister, but with the elder brother, I
talk less.

M: If there is any important thing happening

in the house, do they ask you about your
opinion?

R: Yes.

M: You also give them suggestions?

R: Yes, when I was young, we went shopping

for my sister-in-law. It's been a long time,
maybe 5 to 6 years, so whatever jewelry,
clothes we bought for the sister-in-law, I
went with my brother and mom, aunty was
also there.
Do you feel any gender discrimination at the
place where you are going for studies?

R: So far, I haven't seen anything like that

because nowadays there are a lot of things
that have changed. Gender discrimination is
very rare nowadays. We have schools of that
type.

M: What they are being taught, you are also

being taught a similar thing.

R: Yes.

M: it's not like you are being taught

something less big just because you are a
girl?

R: No, there is nothing like that. All classes of

boys and girls are conducted together. Our
girl school is in Udaipur; even though it is
also going to be a common school for boys
and girls, this is what I heard.

M: I want to talk about your school. How

was your relation with your teachers when
you were in school?

R: I had a good relationship with my class

teacher. Only one teacher scolded me a lot
because I was not good at studies, and she
used to scold me but used to love me as
well; she was my English teacher. She is very
good.

M: Did you ever feel that you can talk openly

with your teachers, or you also had the fear
