Answer: Andhra Pradesh
Notes: The Chenchus, a Telugu-speaking tribe in the Nallamala forests of Andhra Pradesh, struggle with declining work under MGNREGA due to modernization. They are a Scheduled Tribe and have maintained their traditional lifestyle without adapting to modernity. Chenchus live in small villages called "Penta" and gather forest products like fruits, tubers, honey, and tamarind for minimal income. They rely on bows, arrows, and knives for hunting. Village elders, called "Peddamanishi," hold authority in social matters. Chenchus have ties to the Srisailam temple and enjoy special privileges there.
