Where We Work?
SSD is striving to improve the socio-economic conditions of villages, situated in and around the Kailadevi Wild Life Sanctuary area. It’s an upland plateau, characterized by undulation rocky hills & broken grounds with the soil type being primarily of red colors, whereas the downward side of the valley contains sandy soil.
This area is semi-arid with an annual rainfall of 700 m-m (approx.).
Major communities living in this area are Gujjars (SOBC), Meena (ST), and Jatav/Bairwa (SC). Animal Husbandry was the mainstay of villagers’ subsistence when they first arrived here.
But subsequently, agriculture took precedence over animal husbandry. Still, the entire area is poverty-stricken, since most of the land holdings are marginal in nature & not even one-half hectare of land is under assured irrigation for each family. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that runoff carries away the valuable topsoil.
Every year from April to June mass migration of cattle & men takes place. Women literacy in this area is less than 20%, whereas no. of women per thousand men in this area is 847 only.
