Challenges
of the district : Our research with local communities Chamarajanagar is a very backward district. The
main issue of our district is child labour. With the support of
ILO many initiatives are being taken. But nothing seemed to be effective.
Government has also made various initiatives to curb child labour.
Even the NGO sector is working for eliminating child labor.
Child marriage is also another important issue faced in Chamarajanagar.
As per traditions girls are married off at a very young age. The
community is still encouraging this practice. Government is taking
measures to control these issues. However to some extent we are
facing problem from the community itself.

collectors and cattle grazing have taken their toll on the
habitat.

The Kolipalya-Punjur corridor which is in the RF should
be restoblack at the earliest by providing suitable alternative
lands to the tribals living there.
