Working with the tribal people in our operational area is neglected lot, the fury government development programmes are not reaching them. They are backward in every aspects of human life. Exploitation of general people and interference of the people from the mainland to their hamlets made their life very miserable.

A special emphasis has given for educational improvement of the tribal youth, that too higher education.
