Located in a difficult terrain, these tribes are devoid of health facilities, electricity, food, access to transportation, schools and toilet facilities. In the month of January 2021, a tribal women delivered a baby with help of dai or traditional birth attendent during night. The baby and mother later had to be shifted to health center. This is one such health emergency needs which tribals from this place face day to day.
