Read the passage carefully and answer the questions following it .

Feroza was fighting for the survival of her family and herself. The days were hard. Day by day work became even scarcer. One day some people came to her village. They were from the Grameen Bank. They said they were interested in helping the poor people, the landless and the helpless. A Grameen Bank branch had just opened in the village. She learnt from them that only the poor and landless people were eligible ones to take a loan from the bank.

However, before they could borrow money, they would have to make 5-6 groups of workers, each having five members. Then they would have a centre where the bank will work to give loans and receive repayment of loans. Feroza immediately started to look for people. She talked to other women of the village to persuade them to form groups. After about a month there were six groups in Makorkhola village.

All the group members became registered members of the Grameen Bank project. A centre was set up. A thatched hut was built as the centre-house. Feroza’s group elected a chairperson and her sister-in-law was made secretary of the group. They would hold office for a year. The group chairperson would be responsible for discipline in the group.
