Out of the three clusters of villagers covered under the project, two were of predominantly indigenous people. In Nagri, the population was predominantly Gond and in Jashpur, predominantly Oraon. The cultural heritage of these communities strongly affected project design and style in Gond areas. Much of the IEC work was through a Pandawani Programme developed on the issue of food diversity that was strongly rooted in the local cultural milieu. In the Jashpur cluster, women developed their own songs and skits in the Kurukh language that propagated the idea of the Charjhamia.

Project dealt with food security methods. Various strategies like food and seed bank helped in achieving food security. Solving the livelihood and food problems, NGO built capacity of women?s group in decision making. Management and leadership formed an essential component of the project. Construction of the food banks with women?s participation was achieved in all the three clusters. A democratic decision making work culture was adopted for the same. It helped in building up the capacities of the villagers and strengthened the food banks. Necessary knowledge and skill development in areas like understanding nutritional values of food items, techniques and practices to enhance uncultivated food resource security which played crucial role enabling individuals and community to take right decisions could be sighted as a major area this project left desired.
