This project is community participatory programmed. The temporary thatched roof will be dismantled with the help of community participation. For each house a working group will be selected from the representatives of the community stakeholders , project staff and the chief functionary of the BOSS and this group of people will help them in rebuilding the structure with country tiles / Asp-etas sheet / wooden materials. Committee will monitor each and every activity, purchase of materials.
They shift from huts to permanent houses has created a conducive environment for tribal to realize their worth as human beings and equal citizens. They no longer feel that they are inferior to other sections. Hence with this one time assistance, we are not only helping the present generation to lead a dignified life and also the future generation. The life in tiny huts forced the dalits and tribal to form a negative thinking that their In life is doomed once for all .
