But in its triumphant journey, the underprivileged folks, especially the tribal community, are not given the attention it merits. Seven decades after Independence, the plight of the tribal community still remains the same even as the nation takes giant strides to rub shoulders with developed countries. Side-lined, mistreated, and ill-cared for, the tribals stare at a bleak future. However, there is a glimmer of hope as a Kerala-based NGO is doing yeoman service to alleviate the plight of the indigenous people.
Since 1995, HRDS INDIA has been at the vanguard of the efforts to empower tribal communities in a sustainable manner. With its farsighted and innovative programmes and initiatives, the NGO remains true to its sanguine motto of Help-Heal-Host. The organization strives to create a new India where each member of indigenous communities enjoys the right to survival, protection, development, and participation. Although tribes across India are under the orbit of HRDS, communities in Kerala and neighbouring Tamil Nadu enjoy a special focus. Unlike other NGOs, HRDS’ activities are aimed at total human development and fostering social change through awareness campaigns.
