In Uttar Pradesh, the Musahar community can neither sow nor reap
For marginalised and landless groups such as the Musahar community, the use of machines in agriculture has meant a loss of livelihoods.
Ramawati Devi is a resident of Doghra village (Musahar basti) in the Kushinagar district of Uttar Pradesh. She has been engaged in agricultural and allied labour for a long time. Ramawati works with Action Aid and the Musahar Manch on issues related to social and economic development in her community.
