| The Adivasi- the tribal people
of India
There are more than 400 Adivasi communities in
India, representing about 8% of the population,
corresponding to more than 70 millions of people. Most of
them live an archaic, primitive life, as hunters and
gatherers or rudimentary agriculturists; they generally
use slash-and-burn methods of cultivation. In most cases
they live a miserable life in small isolated hamlets and
villages located on hills and in forests. One such
village is seen below.
They are considered to be the poorest of the poor. My
program concentrates all its efforts towards helping
these extremely poor and neglected villages. ( Link to another
article about the Adivasi )
