On May 11, 1998 India successfully carried out underground nuclear tests at a site three kilometres away from the Khetolai village in Pokhran. Twenty four years, the village that made India a global leader in nuclear energy, has little drinking water, barely functioning health centres and a problem of drug dealing and gambling. A ground report.

Nandurbar is amongst Maharashtra’s least developed districts. A large chunk of the tribal population migrates seasonally to work as cane cutters. The children are left behind in the villages, in the care of Jeevan Shalas, where teachers educate them and take care of their other needs. Gaon Connection travelled to remote tribal villages and met teachers who are the lifeline of these Jeevan Shalas.
