Landha and Mahua: Is that going to be the solution?

I went to Chhattisgarh for a 14 days trip in February. I visited multiple villages and interacted with different tribals within the regions of Bastar and Dantewada. My trip was nothing short of an adventure; the cultural experience was raw and authentic. 

But at this point, I am not going to write about how enriching the experience was and why people must visit Chhattisgarh. With an exodus of migrants walking from one part of the country to another and many dying due to hunger, I have been unable to wrap my head around the thought of how the people I recently met in a highly impoverished and underdeveloped state would survive the lockdown. Most of the villages I visited lack basic amenities like a PHC while some villages in the interiors have never seen the light of government interventions. 

People are unable to manage a square meal for themselves owing to lack of income. In order to fill their bellies, they prepare Landha or Mahua, a locally brewed alcoholic beverage that keeps them full for hours.

In such grim circumstances where the world is fighting an unknown enemy, how would these people survive with little or absolutely no money? Is Landha or Mahua the solution; one which they have been resorting to for the longest time? With the agricultural sector being hit the worst, what would these people do?
