It is not rare to see young, doting mothers waiting eagerly outside their kids’ schools for several hours to take them back home when school is over. But, it’s definitely unusual to see them come together every day and engage in some work and earn while they wait for their little ones.

The women drop their kids at Balmohan Vidyamandir and then go to the footpark near Shivaji Park, where they make and sell the items. Pics/Datta Kumbhar
