This was a revisit study of villages located within TATR. It was to research the socio-economic status of people located with a Protected Area (PA) like Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve. Six villages are located within the reserve with pending relocation for nearly two decades. With limited facilities and practically no development work for these villages, life within a PA is difficult, and is affecting the socio-economic status of the people. For subsistence and livelihood they have to depend on the forest within the PA. The first study in 1997 estimated an average of Rs. 17, 579 worth of forest products and income from the forest per household. The revisit study shows that the dependence remains equally high.
