NHRC seeks ATR from CS on condition of Dongria Kondhs
Orissa POST
|May 12, 2025
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sought an Action Taken Report (ATR) from the Chief Secretary regarding the precarious living conditions of over 10,000 families belonging to the Dongria Kondh community, a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG).
This action follows a petition filed by rights activist Radhakanta Tripathy, which highlighted the persistent deprivation of basic human rights—including healthcare, education, and essential amenities—faced by the Dongria Kondh community and other villagers in Kalahandi and Rayagada districts.
Despite repeated NHRC directives over the past five years, the Odisha government has reportedly failed to implement essential welfare measures such as all-weather roads, access to potable water, healthcare services, and education in these remote tribal areas. This ongoing neglect has resulted in severe human rights violations.
