15 women learners from one target village of Palletallapalem belong to socially and economically backward classes and fishing community. 85% of women in that village are illiterate and 10% are dropouts from 1-3rd classes. They are mainly fish vendors, fish workers and agricultural labourers. They are ignorant of market strategies, linkages, financial institutions and government schemes for women. Even though they are living in a disaster prone area they do not have insurance for their crafts, gears, livestock or life insurance. Mrs. Karre Nagalaksmi, age 32 is an illiterate fisherwoman, having 3 children. Through motivation camps of CRASA she realized the need and importance of her education which helped her take care of her family and educate her children.
