Rural areas in India lack supplementary or alternative livelihood for income generation. Lack of knowledge and inadequate infrastructure deterred the inhabitants for income generation through proper utilization of natural resources. Mathurapur I and II and Kultali blocks of Indian Sundarban are indeed such a region. The area is considered as backward area separated from mainland by innumerable tidal creeks. Majority of the inhabitants do not have any sustained living condition compare to other parts of the state.
