Tribals
are unfortunately the most neglected lots having a place at the very bottom
strata of our society.
Records
show that about 70% of Indians live in rural areas. They receive little or no
benefits from local, state and national governments. They are deprived of all
the basic amenities like proper shelter, sanitation, education, healthcare and
hence have a rather stunted economic growth. They are rather resigned to fate
with no one to complain to or care for them .Various governmental schemes took
shape in view of this but they ended up being beyond the reach of these
unfortunate souls. Even when we can afford to think of exploring newer options
of opening shop in Mars, our brothers and sisters still lag behind and struggle
for drops of clean water ,clothing ,shelter, electricity, sanitation and wallow
in diseases and are poverty-stricken.
They may
not even be aware that this is all happening in our world and that all eyes are
on India as it emerges as a world leader even in the space technology arena.
They still remain in the abyss of darkness, poor and ignorant, their woes
unknown to us. Agam Foundation planning to mark on the pages of history by
drawing up several projects focusing on tribal welfare.
