Jayshriben is the eldest of four children, and has 2 brothers and 1 sister. Both of her parents were born in Sindh, and migrated to India in 1972. Her father does tile polishing. Her mother is from Shivnagar, Rajasthan- near Barmer. One brother works in the nearby Jindal steel plant. Jayshriben studied till 6th grade, the limit of the village at the time. She says she sometimes liked school; sometimes not. The difference between that school and KRV is that at KRV she learns design. Jayshriben's mother didn't embroider before marriage. But she learned, and she and a cousin taught Jayshriben embroidery when she was 13 or 14. After that, Jayshriben worked for Shrujan for 4 or 5 years. She has her own bank account, and says she will use her earnings to buy gold.

Jayshriben believes that if girls learn embroidery, it will increase. However, she has seen that increasing education creates a question about the future of embroidery. From the KRV course, Jayshriben expects to learn to make decisions and reach the market. She had wanted to take the course. Her sister Kanchanben went for the interview, so Jayshriben asked to come too. Her mother allowed both girls to go. "I want to be a designer," she says.
