HAVING made positive interventions in different sectors, Kudumbashree is on a new mission now: Reviving indigenous tribal art forms facing extinction. The community network has come up with 'Jana Galsa' to provide the traditional art forms practised by 37 Kerala tribes a stage at events organised by government and quasi-government agencies, giving its practitioners a means to earning a livelihood. Utilising the art forms in the teaching-learning process in tribal schools, to ensure students are familiarised with the subjects through their own traditional art forms and language, is another aim.
