Major concerns.

Most major concern of tribal & artisan societies are child marriage,dowry & child labour. A good no of children have to do hard work like collection of wood & bamboo, making of fine bamboo stick for craft works etc. sometimes they have to work as daily wage labour in nearby towns besides helping elders in rearing animals & farming. SSWCT has done widespread campaign against child marriage & dowry system. It has also emphasised on child's education & hygiene. Many males do work as cycle rickshaw puller on rent. But after paying a huge amount of rent, they hardly can run a smooth life. The aged are deprived of basic medical help. SSWCT has tried to provide them a little facility by arranging free blood pressure, diabetic and eye check up camps etc.
