The Kadera of India are a community in Madhya Pradesh, known for their agricultural roots and traditional craft. The community emphasizes strong family bonds and mutual support. Weddings among the Kadera are elaborate, involving Hindu rituals such as the exchange of garlands, sacred fire ceremonies, and celebrations marked by music and dance. They grow crops such as wheat, rice, and vegetables. Their diet includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, featuring staples like rice, lentils, vegetables, and meat. Traditional dishes such as dal (lentil soup) and roti (flatbread) are typical in their meals. They need better education, healthcare, and vocational training to improve their livelihoods. Addressing these needs will help the Kadera achieve greater socio-economic stability.

Ministry Obstacles: Infrastructure development, including better roads, clean water supplies, and reliable electricity, will greatly benefit the Kadera community. Lack of roads impedes possible efforts to take the gospel to their communities.
