lack awareness about personal hygiene and healthcare and also little knowledge about their rights as citizens. Poor implementation of various government programmes, including the special schemes under the Revised Long Term Action Plan (RLTAP) for the KalahandiBolangir-Koraput region, have not brought any change in the lives of these hapless population.
