Chitalwana is a Tehsil of Jalore district of Rajasthan, India.[1] It is about 30km from it. The town is frequently flooded by River Luni and the overflowing of Narmada canals.[2][3] The area is severely lacking in basic infrastructure, healthcare facilities and basic amenities with low literacy rate and high amount of interstate migration to adjacent states of Gujarat and Maharashtra.[4]
