KALAHANDI collector Sachin Pawar trekked 1,600 feet up the Niyamgiri hills to reach Kunakudu, a remote village under Trilochanpur gram panchayat in Lanjigarh block, to assess development needs of the particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTG) and bring welfare measures to their doorsteps.

Collector treks 1,600 ft to assess needs of PVTGs

The village, home to nine Dongria Kondh families, has long remained inaccessible to development. Pawar became the first district head to visit the isolated village, navigating difficult terrain to engage directly with the residents. During the visit, he persuaded the villagers to relocate downhill, where a new settlement will be developed to ensure access to essential services.
