The younger generation of Mundapota Kela tribe in Odisha has grown up watching the male members hold their breath and bury their heads in soil to earn a living. Many of its members are now weaving mats and brooms from date-palm leaves to make the ends meet. However, the community still has no access to safe drinking water.
