Primitive Vulnerable Tribal Group Policy note was prepared for Mumbai School of Economics and Public Policy and Tribal Training Research Institute.

 In detail policy brief was work out we placed our inputs in data and policy formation.

1. As Madia community is largely dependent on Minor Forest Produce for livelihood, establishing Vandhan Kendra for forward linkages of Mahua, Tendu Patta, Bamboo products will lead to improved livelihoods. Aggregation of Mahua flowers, processing and value addition by making different food products is a viable channel. In order to maximise the benefits of the rights recognised under the FRA 2005, it is important to make suitable amendments to the Bombay Prohibition Act 1949, amended 2018.
2. To establish Farmer Producer Organisation/ Cooperatives for schemes like Goat rearing, Fisheries, Poultry, Animal Husbandry, Agricultural and Forest Produce, Brick kilns etc. for Katakri community to tackle the issue of migration among them.  A specific MOU should be executed between the FPO/ Cooperative and the technical expert for time bound technology transfer.  This will enable the communities to draw on resources from NABARD, SFAC and other similar organizations, rather than remain exclusively dependent upon the provisions through TDD schemes.
