My only link with village life was that my father was from a rural area. My experience of a village in past 25 years of life can be summed up to be negligible. All the understanding or insights which I had were of my father. Even though my roots are in a small village of district Bilaspur, still I had never had an opportunity of an extended stay in a village. So when i got the opportunity to stay in village Dibh as part of my fieldwork with Indo German Changar Eco Development project, i was excited. This village was situated some 40 Km from our organizations headquarters in Palampur.
