27. Important Issues / Problems Low productivity lands Majority of them possess small land holdings leading to disguised unemployment. High vulnerability due to small land holdings by most of the villagers. Sanitation is poor, lack of adequate drainage and toilets. Women are enthusiastic, they are ready to do something but unable to decide because of lack of awareness & skills. Girl child labour in cotton farms. Overall wage rates are low and also men are paid more than women. Due to increase in no of borewells for cultivation of water intensive crops, the ground water table is going down. People are good but, Men and women take country liquor in the evenings, some men beat their wives under the influence. Lack of marketing facilities leading to exploitation of moduga leaf plate makers and gum tapers. About 10% of the population is on seasonal migration for work. Forced migration due to non-sustainable traditional occupations. Most of the traditional LHs are no more sustainable such as black smithy, carpentry, pottery, chappal making, barbers and gold smithy.

28. Suggestions / recommendations There is need to select this village for livelihoods interventions. This village has potential of Women and youth for initiating activities. Need to involve community in the optimum utilization of groundwater resources. Has potential to form more SHGs with women. Networking with CBOs (SHGs, UGs, occupational groups and labour groups) at village level. Formation of labour and occupational groups for capacitating in new skills and / or upgrading existing skills. Formation of thrift groups with small and marginal farmers Farmers need to be organized for sustainable agricultural practices. Has the potential for Micro-enterprise activities for women groups. Promoting backyard poultry and dairy activities with women groups. Finding ME activities or other LH opportunities for the men commuting to Mahabubnagar to work as Hamalis. Marketing facilities for leaf-plate makers and trainings on value addition. Trainings on Gum karaya collection and grading and facilitating market linkages. Small and marginal Farmers need to be trained on better agricultural practices, like vegetables production, seed production. Need to train RMPs and Barefoot veterinary persons in the village.
