Within the rural hinterlands there are schemes and policies related to providing various developmental objectives to be achieved which are directed towards electricity, building roads which will help in connectivity, as well as providing safe drinking water. The difficulties starts to gulp down, when such provisions do not end up providing the expected outcome which in turn effects the communities. What happens when the communities residing there have always been on the side of the exploited? Or do they end up taking the matters on their own hands and approach the state themselves rather than being just beneficiaries of state provisions.
