Item Rural Immersion Programme: Dangs: The lesser known paradise(MICA, 2016) Makkar, Mani; Prakash, Nupur; Dua, Priyam; Rao, Shruti; Joshi, VaibhaviOverall, Dang is given the maximum grant from the government on account of being a tribal and forest area. Still, the whole district did not have basic infrastructure. The people were also extremely poor but were able to manage as they would grow most of their food by themselves on the land given to them by the government. Although, government has initiated a couple of schemes with self-help groups to enhance the livelihood of the local community but the kind of schemes that are chosen, the people chosen to be part of SHG's and the way they are implemented is extremely inefficient. This is pretty visible from the fact, that most SHG units are not functioning and are not able to sustain once the government stops pumping in money. Also, a lot of pilot projects without proper research in terms of their demand, marketing, etc is not done which again hampers the sustenance of any SHG schemes. Another issue is with the whole cultural atmosphere, where the women are overburdened with responsibilities and are primarily the decision makers. This makes it difficult to have a running casual labour pool for the SHG schemes to operate. Inherently, people in Dang are lazy and complacent. Thus, creating awareness about why the livelihood enhancement is important is extremely essential.Item Yearbook 2017(MICA, 2017) Sood, Aakarsh; Dubash, Aditya; Varma, Amrita; Gupta, Kajol; Jhunjhunwala, Saharsh; Chandra, Shiraley; Das, Sreshtha; Rao, Shruti; Katewa, Tushar; Agarwal, Vinti
