4th EVS NCERT Chapter 17

Nandita had to bring her mother from the village to Mumbai for her treatment.

Nandita felt like vomiting when she first had to use the toilet where Mama lived because it was always dirty and smelled bad.

Nandita found her Mama's house to be different from her house in the village as they all lived in one room where they sat, slept, cooked, and washed, whereas in the village, they had separate places for cooking and bathing, along with a courtyard outside.

Nandita found that there were fights for water at the public tap, and if they were late, they couldn't fill water for the day. In the village, they had to walk to the pond for water, and sometimes had to walk for almost an hour to the river when the pond dried up. There were no fights for water in the village.

No, there was no electricity at the place where Nandita's Mama lived, as mentioned by Nandita when she described the difficulties of the place, such as no drinking water or electricity.
