When a woman from rural Andhra Pradesh approached her community-owned cooperative bank for a ₹1 lakh loan, she had a clear purpose: she wanted to buy a tractor.
The loan changed more than her livelihood. She became the owner of the tractor, while her husband worked as the driver.
“I’m the owner of the tractor and my husband is a driver, and I have so much of respect in my village and everything,” she told Visha Ferrer.
