Ekta Parishad is a group of Gram Swaraj activists working actively in the five villages of Kuluva, Padri, Gata, Hinauti and Cheelghat, with Cheelghat as center. This village level organization is working towards collective self-reliance of about two hundred tribal families in the area. These families have been displaced from their original habitat in the forests where they had lived for generations and cultivated the land - their only source of sustenance. The displaced families are fighting for their land rights, and have taken possession of 700 acres of forest land, where they want to build the alternative education center for hundred children belonging to the displaced families.
Asha-St. Louis is funded the alternative education center at Cheelghat with a one time total grant of $6,400. This would include the school, a traditional or alternative health center, a collective farming, spinning and bee-keeping venture.
