A LEADER who dared to take on the might of the state for the land rights of underprivileged tribal communities, C K Janu is now on a new mission: learning English. She has enrolled for a communicative English course as part of her wish to take up issues directly with state and central officials.

Janu joined the Nila Academy in Mananthavady, Wayanad, in September 2023. "I have been attending classes since September," Janu told TNIE. "However, after my mother passed away on November 2, I have missed lectures. I have some rituals to complete, after which I will rejoin classes," she said.
