Within a minute of talking to Bindu S, she chokes and holds back her tears, as she speaks. She has been without a job for nearly two years, and has an elderly mother and a son to feed at home. She used to earn at least Rs. 1,500 every week at the nearby cashew processing unit, a skill she mastered in nearly 15 years. But since that unit was shut in 2016, she does odd jobs at people's houses occasionally, to feed her family members. Bindu S is barely 39.
