Migration is a part of under privileged Gypsy's (Narikurava's) life circle for generations. We at CHHASE see the Migrants suffer in severe droughts, floods, storms, lost crops, and forced migrations – worsening poverty and hunger. Illiteracy restricts employability. Migrants feel that their fate is driving them to different places and dropping them in gutter. They are unfortunate and pray almighty to rescue and help them to come out of poverty.
Their hungriness forced them to beg, eat the thrown food in waste baskets by restaurants and hotels, hunt even rats, crow to eat and send their children to beg.
They are the one, who can differentiate herbs. They go to forest and bring herbs for sale in cities. But sales of herbs are very less and it is income less effort. They live under the trees, under over bridge, near bus stands and mainly in open place since they dont have a permanent shelter. Though Government started giving permanent constructed houses to them, they are not living in those places because of their migrating habit since their birth. Most of are born while traveling on migration.
They don't have any organized skills training to work. These Gypsy's (Narikurava's) migrate because of poverty, homelessness, hunger, illiteracy, jobless, innocence, discrimination and many more. They live in unhygienic conditions. The places where they stay are such; they won't even get water for drinking and cooking. 47520 Gypsy's are in Tamil nadu. Gypsy peoples often remain outside any form of official government classification and are therefore denied basic services like education, health, and social security benefits. Tamil Nadu government is already taking steps to provide basic facilities.
