For years, local villagers on the banks of the Swarnarekha River passing through Jamshedpur in Jharkhand have been doing the difficult task of extracting golden particles from the river soil and sand through traditional methods.
This struggle of the people of many villages has been going on for years amidst great physical pain and uncertain income.
Due to lack of any other employment or source of income, illiteracy and poverty in the tribal dominated area, these people try to earn a few rupees by searching for gold particles from the soil on the banks of the river, even in the scorching sun. So that they can feed their families and fulfill their basic needs like oil and soap.
