STATUS OF WOMEN The women are mostly confinedto the household work. Their lifeis mostly restricted to the homes.Some women also work aslaborers in the field.

The men to women ratio is also

not bad. There are about 44%men and 56% women.


20/38

LIVING CONDITIONS THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY IN ANY OF THE

HOMES WE SURVEYED.

PEOPLE USE KEROSINE GIVEN FRON GOVT.RATION SHOPS FOR LIGHTING THEIR HOMES

AND OTHER PURPOSES.

MOST PEOPLE USE THE TRADITIONALENERGY RESOURCES LIKE DRIED COW DUNGAND WOODS FROM NEARBY FOREST AND

TRADITIONAL CHULAHS FOR COOKING. VERYFEW PEOPLE HAVE KEROSINE STOVES.


21/38

Healthcare facilities and conditions There is no primary healthcare centre in a village or

even in any of the nearby villages with the nearbydoctors chamber being as far as Gopali.

The nearest hospital is in Prem Bazaar near IIT

campus. For serious diseases they refer the vilagers tothe sub-divisional hospital, Chandmari.

The villagers complain of not getting even the basicmedicines for free. They are made to buy all themedicines from outside shops and the hospital doesntprovide them with anything.

Villagers suffer from different waterborne diseases. If a

proper sanitation facility is put in place and villagers

MODES OF TRANSPORT Major population has no means of transport. They use walking even forlong distances.

Few of them have cycle as a meansof transport.

None of them have motorizedvehicles.


25/38

WATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES

The main source of water is the village well.All the families are dependent on it.

There is a tube well in the village but none

of the families use it since the water in thetube well is contaminated.

The areas surrounding the well werent

clean. There are no facilities for rain waterconservation.

Rain water is primarily used for irrigation.


26/38

LIVESTOCK

The people keep animals in theirhouses. These are used for milk and meat. The animals includecows, goats and poultry.

While cows are used for milk rearing and goats are used for

meat.

They rely on poultry as their

reserve source of money but


27/38

WASTE DISPOSAL

A very few people have properwaste disposal places while most of them just dump their garbage in thenearby places.

The disposed waste can be viewedas a potential source to generatebio-fuels which can be used forhousehold cooking or the waste can

be recycled.


28/38

THE VILLAGE IS TECHNOLOGICALLY VERYBACKWARD. THEY HAVE BEEN USING THE TRADITIONAL CHULHASFOR LONG.

EVEN NO STEPS FOR SOIL CONSERVATION HAVEBEEN TAKEN ON THEIR PART.

THERE EXISTS A GRAVE PROBLEM OF SOIL LEACHINGDURING RAINS.

NO TOOL WORK IS PRACTICED.WASTE :One family (out of the ten we surveyed) was

found using the practice of dumping theirleftovers in a pit and later, using it as manure.


29/38

ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHANGEAND RISK

Most of the people were not willing to takerisk. They are reluctant to change theirlifestyle.

They still use traditional technology. Newtechnology is not used in the allotted part of the village as it is expensive for them.

People are also not aware of new schemesintroduced by the Government thanks to

poor connectivity and media .

SUGGESTIONS

We can suggest them to have proper drainagefacilities so that rain water does not accumulate on thekachha roads. The low lying areas should be filled with

soil to avoid growth of mosquitoes and flies in them.

We can ask them to create manures by themselvesusing a vermi compost so that they could use it for

agricultural purposes.

They can use the animal waste in making bio gas anduse it as a fuel in kitchen for cooking purposes.


33/38

We can suggest them to purify water before using itfor drinking purposes by treating it with alum (whichis available in the market at low cost).

We can teach them about modern farming methodsand irrigation techniques.

We can teach the women about healthy cookingmethods.

Proper disposal of waste should be done so thatcommunicable diseases are not spread.

35/38

A TRADITIONAL CHULHA

Many disadvantages :

Smoke is very harmful to thewomenfolk who use it everyday

Precious wood lost in burning

(Low calorific Value)

Efficiency is extremely low for these traditional chulhas

Deforestation and wastefulusage of Farm residue


36/38

Our suggestion draws from The nationalprogramme on improved chulha (NPIC started in1986-87)

Improved Chulhas are playing a role to reduce theconsumption of fuel wood and also to improve the health andhygienic conditions and reduce the drudgery of the human and tomake an overall improvement in the quality of life.

Objectives of improved chulhas are fuel wood saving. Removal/reduction of smoke from the kitchen.Reduces cooking and collection of fuel wood time. Cook more than one food at a time. Up gradation of environment.

Available for various types of fuel, for cooking different typesof food at a time. Reduces health problems. Provides employment to rural poor.
