The village does not have a grocery shop. The members of this group have started a small grocery shop to carter to the needs of the village people. The group has taken an intrest-free loan to start this venture. This new shop has saved the trouble of walking in the hilly slopes for a long distance to buy grocery. The group is able to repay the loan installment regularly.
