Abstract

The village under study is Chhaigaon Makhan. It is situated about 30 km from Khandwa (town) and falls under Chhaigaon Makhan development block. The population of the village is about 4000, but due to the submergence of some of the neighbouring villages in the Indra Sagar project. This has not only caused the constraints on the village resources but has also caused wide spread unemployment. The main occupation of the village is agriculture and a few people also work in a nearby mill. The village has people from all castes and there have not been any incidence of violence between any two castes. There are no caste specific colonies in the village and both lower and upper castes live together. Following table gives briefly some statistics about the village.
