Detailed Solution

In Bastar, if people from a village want to take some wood from the forests of another village, they pay a small fee called Dand in exchange.
The locals take care of all the natural resources inside their village's boundaries because each knows its boundaries. For example, Dand was paid for the right to gather wood from the forests of another village. This charge is also called Devsari or Mand. Some villages even employ guards to guard their woodlands, and each household provides some grain to pay for their services. This ties into their ideology where they consider the natural environment around them as a sacred gift of God and have a deep intimate connection with it.
