Siva Reddy has been an active member  for the last 12 years — designing, cutting and stitching fabric to weave together a work of magic. 

Explaining the grading process at Okhai, Ramiben says that they have developed a system of grading the women in terms of the quality of their threadwork output. Depending on orders received, these women are then entrusted a particular embroidery or appliqué work, at which they excel. With frequent training in customer preferences, time management, fashion and quality output, these rural women have achieved financial security while having enough time for their household responsibilities.

Okhai has given these rural women a sense of achievement by entrusting them with positions based on their calibre. Ramiben is a trustee of the Okhai Board and also a president of the Self Help Group Federation.
