Technological Intervention

For ages, the production of Tasar yarn has played a vital role in the livelyhood of the tribals in India. Attempts are being made by developmental agencies to improve the lot of the tribal women by introducing reeling machines to increase production. But due to several socio-cultural factors the experience has not always been a complete success. This film explores the issues which arise and calls out for a more sensitive approach to technological interventions in the deep rooted traditions of the tribals.
