The maximum Bru refugees are getting the facility of government allowances but they don’t have their own land for doing agricultural activities with proper instructions under different Tribal Development Fund related projects.

A tribal woman trainee has expressed her view that the government might help to get financial support from banks through Joint Liability Group. As there are the issues of documents in order to get benefits from the government, the financial support in accordance with requirements can be done with the help of JLGs. The company BAPCL has been experienced in the matter of JLGs formation and the successful implementation of JLGs in Tripura under NABARD sponsored project.
