Empowering women to demand for food security@JEEVIKA Shivpuri


Kuwarpur Tapra at Shivpuri District is a JEEVIKA project village (tribal) where 60 families of tribal community living, PDS system is totally paralyzed here. Community people haven’t seen sugar on ration shop for more than a year; they are getting one moth’s kerosene oil in three months which, same condition with rice and wheat also. Leela and Geeta Adiwasi, members of a self help group Jai Bajrang Sahoom told us that “Gram Sevak kept distribution register in his custody and eating our whole ration, we are having two self help groups here one is 5 years old but there is no meetings of groups.”

After hearing about this problem we contacted following Sarpanch of village and planning for working on this problem with community people.
