1. Village Development Programmes- 80 percent of the tribal population is earning their livelihood from agriculture sector. Hence this is the unavoidable sector and need prioritized attention. We encourage the villagers to develop the natural resources of the village. We construct check dams and dug ponds in villages, which is the joint venture of villagers and town committees. These works are also done under village development like protection of environment through tree plantation, protection of forests, organic farming, van sabji mahotsav, vegetable seeds distribution and caring for domestic animal.

2. Skill Development- Skill development is an important part of society in today’s life. With this purpose we are running 12 tailoring-stitching centers and 1 computer center.
