In our region, the majority of the population consists of Sahariya tribal communities, where illiteracy is a major problem. Although the government is trying to address this, the people are not aware of the importance of education, which perpetuates the issue and contributes to unemployment. To find work, they travel to other states and miss out on education.
Locally, we have made efforts to raise awareness about education and meet their needs. We provided all possible help to guide them towards education. We also organized camps in their villages to help them obtain Aadhaar and other comprehensive documentation, protecting them from fraud. Additionally, we facilitated the creation of Ayushman cards, offering free treatment up to 7 lakhs, which has benefited them immensely.
