"छीपा" शब्द उतना ही पुराना है, जितना रंगाई और छपाई का इतिहास। रंगाई और छपाई की कला का जन्म भारत से होकर दुनिया के तमाम देशों तक प्रचलित हुआ। पुरातन समय में सामाजिक और आर्थिक प्रतिष्ठा के साथ छीपा शिल्पी न केवल अपनी कला में निखार ला रहे थे बल्कि अच्छा व्यवसाय भी कर रहे थे।

Pardhi, a denotified nomadic community, continues to face social stigma, and the majority of its members make a living collecting recyclable wastes or selling bangles. Aranyavas in Bhopal provides free shelter to Pardhi children so that they can get an education and shun the tag of belonging to a 'criminal tribe'.

Every drop of water is recycled in this small village in the jungles of Panna, thanks to the initiative of the Jal Jeevan Mission. This has led to kitchen gardens, enough water for the cattle and irrigation and even a lotus pond
