TRIBAL MIGRATION

In the district of Jhabua (MP), the monsoons have failed, there is acute shortage of drinking water for men and animals both, no food and fodder, much worse, there is no availability of relief funds for the tribals except on the papers, consequently, the Bhils are migrating in large numbers to any place they find to migrate such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, etc. Government has no concern for them in real life for the poor and the needy tribals who are nearly 80 % of them below poverty line, not even one meal a day, not even drinking water available at home or in the village. All the rivers and lakes those regularly supplied water for villagers and the cattle’s are dry hence no source of springs for the wells.

There are no facilities for basic amenities such as food and water in Jhabua district which has received highest amount of funds for the tribal development... in the last three decades. Is there any record....? Should there be public accountability....? If it was with the tribals, with just 10 % of the funds they would have done better and complete jobs for the tribal development in the district...And now much worse, the tribal Sarpanches have acquired the habits of corruption from the non tribals. Certainly that has made progress and not what was supposed to be. In such a case is there any hope for the tribals.....?
