Read the passage given below and answer the question by choosing the correct/most appropriate options.

Padma lives with her mother, a retired anganwadi teacher, and four brothers who are farmers. Her family doesn't mind that she travels at odd hours or is in the company of male colleagues, which in her community was once taboo. They understand the value of her service, she says. One common thread among these young girls is that all their mothers have either worked in or taught at the village anganwadis, and they insisted that their daughters be educated.

"Initially, the people were cold and sceptical," says Padma, "but over the past couple of years, attitudes have changes. They trust us, they have our phone numbers pasted on their walls so that they can reach out when need to."

Possibly the most important change these young women have brought to the valley is getting their tribes to move from traditional medicine to modern medicine. They repeatedly visited families, explained the need for better healthcare and hygiene, and taught them to eat well.

The women earn between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 18,000 a month based on their experience. A few of them went as far as Vishakapatnam to study, but chose to return home since working in the community was important to them.

The outcome is evident in the figures. According to the 2011 census, the maternal mortality rate in Araku valley was over 400 per 100,000 live births, more than double the national average. In the last two years, however, there have been no deaths during pregnancy or childbirth. While all these years, women gave birth in their homes, aided by the elderly in the institutional deliveries reaching 68% of women.
