In a tribal village in Krishnagiri district
This Irula man belonging to Siddhalingakottai village in Denkanikottah taluk is making a mat from green bamboo which he has collected from the forests. This thatch is used for making walls. This bamboo mat gives good insulation from the extreme cold climate of the hilly areas. I could see that most of the houses had walls made of such bamboo mats.
Most of these Irulars do not have proper basic infrastructure like a PHC, a school after the primary level, roads, transport or even proper drinking water sources. They have to fetch water going down for about 100 meters from where they live.
