The Chenchu and Sugali communities of the remote Palutla plateau are setting an example in bonhomie by unanimously selecting the sarpanch as envisaged by the State government for speedier development.
The hamlet, comprising 800 voters, have decided to elect as their sarpanch Karamthot Haninibhai, a woman from the Sugali community.
“The goal is to put the tribal village with low development indices on the path of progress,” says Chevula Anjaiah, an elderman from the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG).
The remote village is not just the first polling station in Prakasam district but also the home of tribals who have been living in complete harmony with the environment of the Nallamalla forests, a repository of rare species of flora and fauna.
