Between 2018 and 2019, SCODWES conducted a comprehensive research study on Endosulfan victims, assessing 1,498 individuals from 1,439 families across 340 villages impacted by Endosulfan exposure. The study focused on socio-demographic characteristics and the resulting disabilities, offering critical insights into the long-term effects of pesticide exposure. The findings have been submitted to the state government to advocate on behalf of the victims.
