Khalwa block of East Nimar district in MP

Last week I was in Khalwa block of East Nimar district in MP. This block is infamous for malnourishment and deaths due to malnutrition. It has 75 percent Korku tribal population and remaining are from the Gond tribe. It borders Melghat region of Maharashtra which also is demographically similar and also similarly lagging in health and nutritional indices. The two states are separared by the Tapti river in this region. We have started Seva Kutirs in this district too (it is the sixth district in MP). We have already started 6 Kutirs in last 2 weeks under the stewardship of our dynamic Sevavratee Goluji. I along with my travelling companion and chief of Seva Kutir operations in MP Kapil Bharadwaj visited and conducted community meetings in 5 of these villages.
After Khalwa, since Saturday, Kapil and I are back 500 km from there to Sheopur (Karahal) region among Sehariya communities where we camp at present throughout this week.
