Introduction

India, the world's largest democracy, boasts a population of 1.50 billion, with a significant portion residing in rural areas below the poverty line. Seventy years post-independence, the shadows of poverty still loom large over the tribal and indigenous groups, particularly the Dalit communities in rural regions. These communities are ensnared in a relentless cycle of poverty and illiteracy, posing a substantial hurdle to accessing basic amenities and opportunities for growth and development.
