- 5. Continue.. Villages in the inter-state border highly underdeveloped in terms of infrastructure, services, education, health etc. Low accessibility of government entitlements There are primary schools in all villages; but not accessible to all the hamlets, with the children having to walk through forests and fields for over 3-4 kms in certain villages. The school infrastructure is not adequate in all the villages and there is a lot more that needs to be done. Migration is rampant and people are out of their villages for an average of 6 months in a year, in most of the tribal villages, affecting the education of children to a considerable extent. The LAMP has for the first time addressed the issue of denial of education to the Adivasi children in a systematic way, through awareness, monitoring RTE Act implementation, capacity building of SMCs and seasonal hostels.
