Collector Pushes Sustainable Livelihoods for Chenchu Tribals

The Collector of Nandyal district wants to help the Chenchu tribals have better jobs and make more money.

There are about 9,000 Chenchu tribals living in 48 small villages.

Right now, they mostly collect things from the forest to survive.

The Collector says they should learn new skills like making bags, growing mushrooms, and keeping bees.

This will help them earn more money and not just depend on the forest.

The Collector also wants to set up places where they can sell their products, like at fairs and temples.

There is even a plan to start a new production unit with the help of banks.
