English: Unexplored Bastar also started organizing several other promotional events with the support of Chhattisgarh Tourism Board, District Administration of Bastar and Dantewada and other local partners in the lieu to change the perception of the visitors who think of Bastar as a conflict zone. The entire approach is also followed by large-scale involvement of local tribal people with the support of APS, an NGO (tie-up with Unexplored Bastar) from Bastar which in addition led to generate livelihoods for them. Presently, Unexplored Bastar is impacting lives of 200+ tribal youth of Bastar. APS has trained approximately 240 local tribal people in the tourism and hospitality sector to enhance their employment opportunities. This included activities like providing stay to tourists at their homes, their assistance as local guides and an opportunity to sell their mass-produced handicrafts to tourists visiting Bastar. These local communities are the real service providers of Unexplored Bastar for implementation of different innovations at the grass-root level. They work structurally by forming Self Help Groups (SHGs) at Chitrakote, Tirtha, Dantewada, Palnaar, Phoolpad, Dholkal and Barsoor. Hence, Unexplored Bastar has created ample opportunities for sustainable employment of local tribal youth.
