Dhapu and family live in a small hamlet called Bhopa Ji Ki Dhani, in Mandala Khurd. Family trade is farming; but agricultural yield is inadequate as agriculture is rain fed. In the time of need her father also works as a daily wage labourer. He manages to earn a monthly income of Rs 1000 which barely suffices to provide for the basic necessities of the family. Making ends meet is difficult. Dhapu mostly spends her time tending to her siblings or helping her mother with house hold chores. Education is treated as an added luxury and is mostly the boys are encouraged to go to school while the girls spend their time tending to siblings and helping with the house hold chores
