How going back to traditional farming practices is changing the lives of Bhil Adivasis in the hilly tribal village of Gamaniya Hameera in Rajasthan.

Twenty-eight year old Kailash Nathu, a member of Bhil Adivasi community, recalls a horrific incident from 2018, when like very year, he migrated from his village Gamaniya Hameera, all the way to Gujarat to find work as a daily-waged labourer. Nathu was not the only villager who used to migrate from Rajasthan to the cities of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh to seek livelihood, it has been a routine— much like a necessary-evil— for the people of his community who otherwise would sustain themselves through farming during the monsoon season.

After spending a few weeks in Gujarat’s Surat, Nathu caught Dengue fever— a mosquito-borne illness, that in severe cases may lead to death. Migrant labourers, owing to less income and hand-to-mouth earning often live in big cities under dire conditions— in shanties with scanty access to hygiene, or in the worst cases, on the road pavements or under the flyovers. Nathu fell severely ill and could not recover even after spending days in a government hospital in Surat. After losing hope, and most of the money he had saved, he withdrew from the treatment and left for home.

“I thought I would die, and I wished to die in my village, at my home, in peace,” Nathu recalls. However, as fate had it, he recovered. And fearful of such an episode ever repeating, he decided never to migrate again.  At least “never as a labourer”.
