beginning onwards so as to develop a participatory approach towards project
implementation.
The village Mohorli is near the entrance gate of
Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Chandrapur District which is a well know tiger

work as labourers and do not have sustainable income. The Burad community works
with Bamboo and makes articles out of Bamboo and are below poverty line.

This project is seen as a model project within
Maharashtra since Mohorli village is being developed as totally sanitised
village with underground sewerage and water supply thus developing it as
ecologically sound and sustainable village. The project supports the “Clean

Government).
