Anaipallam, an Irula tribal village with 65 families, is located eight kilometres away from Pillur Mattam in Coonoor taluk of Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu.
The tribal population here have been living in this area for hundreds of years bereft of basic amenities and face many struggles to access nearby towns. As it takes more than 10 hours to travel from their place and return to their hamlets, many wanted to move out of their ancestral villages.
Irula tribes of these villages earn their livelihoods from pepper, coffee, and jackfruit cultivation and honey hunting. To market the minor forest products, they need to walk up and down the forest, which has the presence of Indian gaurs, sloth bears, elephants, and tigers. In the absence of proper road facilities, during medical emergencies, reaching the hospitals on time is a herculean task, here. People who need medical care including pregnant women are carried in improvised cloth stretchers and some have died while being transported.
