IN a first, the state is set to formulate a disaster management plan, specifically for tribal hamlets.

- Shainu Mohan @T'Puram

The idea is to develop customised proposals for around 6,000 hamlets in the state on a participatory basis, incorporating the indigenous knowledge of the tribal communities, to ensure a more effective and localised approach to disaster preparedness and response.

The Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA), jointly with the tribal department, has already initiated steps to roll out the project.

According to the 2011 census, there are around 4,84,839 scheduled tribes in Kerala comprising over 30 groups, including the particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTGs).

A significant portion of the tribal population resides in geographically remote areas.
