The tribals residing on the hill tops (Patt) are called Asur and they are involved in the ancient indigenous technology of Iron ore smelting since centuries. However, in the present scenario this work can hardly provide them with a sustainable livelihood. Vikas Bharati has been working with these tribal groups to ensure that their skills are enhanced and updated and they are linked with the market so that they can have a sustainable livelihood
