The Bhils of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra are being fatally affected by a deadly disease called Tuberculosis, commonly called T.B. in Bhili the language of the Bhils. The state Governments of the Bhilanchal region, are calm and cool about it, as the fatal disease is spreading widely, day by day in more and more families and the whole of countryside of Bhilanchal. The main reasons for the spread of this deadly disease is malnutrition among the Bhil children, heavy physical works with lesser wages, spurious liquor, for the adult Bhils in the various states and work sites they migrate in large percentage from their tribal habitats in Bhilanchal or in their own home places. Some social workers who have close connections with the Bhils of Jhabua, that some 25% to 30% of the Bhagoria Bhils are affected by T.B.

A senior doctor working in the Bhil region of Bajana (Ratlam District of MP) has observed that some 80% of the Bhils are affected by this disease or some other, for which nothing is being done on large or small scale by the responsible agencies.

The NGOs at home are certainly enjoy their developmental funds received in the forms of tribal projects with no intentions of their tribal development, but for lavishly maintaining their own life styles which has become a fashion or standard of life based on the tribal funds in Bhilanchal.

Now the among social workers, NGOs, tribal developmental workers, including the missionaries run organizations, Adivasi Seva or tribal service has spread like the diseases mentioned above. They are prospering very well on the tribal funds for the decades. And the tribals have remained stagnated and deprived at home, with no hope for the tribal development. In such a lethargic and hope-less situation, is there any cure for both....?
