The involvement of the tribal community too was ensured in this project and the food corner near Edakkal is run by the tribal community. They offer tribal, ethnic and indigenous snacks and the tourists visiting the place find them very delicious and interesting. The shop could generate an income of more than Rs 1 lakh within a month.
