Elizabeth Kheria, Bharati Kishan, Rajesh Dhanowar and Anjana Lagun, all labourers at Belsiri tea estate near Dhekiajuli in Assam, have been sharing what they would never have thought possible before - their weekly wages clubbed into a single currency note. "The four of us together got Rs 2,172 for the week, which included a Rs 2,000 note. We went to the grocery shop and bought our respective groceries with that note," said Dhanowar. The four then divided the change.
