From the Introduction: The district of Dang lies between 20.39 degree to 21.5 degree North latitudes and 72.29 degree to 73.51 degree East longitudes. The Dang is comprised of 311 Villages and has an area of 1764 sq. km. Even though Dangs lies about 200 kilometers north of Metropolitan Mumbai, the Dang District remains quite isolated and materially developed. Encompassing 1764 sq. km. in a rugged valley, the Dangs is noted for its still largely pristine teak forests. The district has an overall literacy rate of 75.16% (Male: 83.06%, Female: 67.38%). Almost 100% of the population resides in the countryside, sustaining themselves, just above the subsistence level by growing local varieties of millet and other seed crops. However, this is a district where all the 311 villages are electrified and connected with maximum number of black top roads. The Dangs is the abode of tribals i.e. Varli, Kukna, Bhil, Nayaka and Kotvariya. All the villages of the district are fully covered by dense forests named as Mahal, Kalibel, Galkund, Don, Waghai and Pipaldahad. As per the 2011 census, the population of the district was 228, 291. The Dangs is 100% tribal district declared by the Economic Times and also it was one of the most backward districts among top 20 in India mentioned in the bulletin of Planning Commission but Dangis have started coming out of the extreme poverty by opting mixed crops in their regular agricultural practices. Dangis are far beyond the other tribals of the country. They have started innovative ways of irrigation to their farms and youth of the community has started opting jobs in service sector. Although most of the tribals in eastern pocket do migrate in search of better employment, yet their hunger for education, better lifestyles and search for stability have caused them to move up the ladder in an ascending manner.
