In spite of the perilous nature of the job, women from the deprived families of Korutla mandal roll beedies to earn a living. All the hard work put in by the women gets rewarded by a paltry sum of Rs. 100 per day apart from developing diseases such as cancer. The women also experience chronic back and neck pain due to the long periods of time they spend on rolling beedies.
