Every year, when people migrate out of Koppal in search of a better life, homes are left in shambles. “Families break down and children can’t study,” she explained. The Devadasi issue rapidly worsened, with children as young as five being married off.

“That broke my heart,” she said. Sampark then undertook the mission of integrating these Devadasi women into the mainstream, pulling them out of isolated clusters within which they lived and involving them with the co-operatives.

Poverty, however, runs through generations. The only way to put a stop to this was education. Loans and grants are distributed to families of migrant workers who stay behind in their villages.

The education committee, comprising women from the various self-help groups, is in charge of monitoring the kids closely, intervening if a child shows the tendency to drop out of school. “There is plenty of support for education, but it is always given to the meritorious students,” she said.

“Now what’s the point of that? It’s the kids who drop out and fail each year that need our help the most. They’re most likely the ones with family problems, too.” This meant working with the poorest of the poor, the handful of unfortunates who fall below every net.
