About the Conference
Tribals constitute 8.6% of total population of India. Albeit their profound culture and traditional knowledge, a vast majority of the Tribals stay at the low stratum of the society. Decades of development have prompted a reformist disintegration of the conventional rights over their traditional assets including the forest. This can be suitably attributed to the lacunae in the law and flaws in execution.
Against this backdrop, Hidayatullah National Law University in collaboration with TRTI and TPSIPRD is organizing a Two-Day National Conference on “Tribal Transition in India: Issues, Challenges and the Road Ahead” on 26-27 November, 2021.
The present conference is intended to provide a platform to discuss and deliberate the theme in detail during the technical sessions followed by the Panel Discussions being chaired by subject-matter experts.
Rationale of the Conference
In the historical backdrop, the tribal identity has experienced numerous changes and challenges. The powers of globalization which entered in to their ancestral world with dynamic state support have added torments in the existence of the clans. Even after seventy years of planned development, the financial state of clans has not improved and tribal regions are considered as under developed in our country. Advancement measures in the tribal regions should consist of bringing harmony among safeguarding ancestral identity, culture and qualities, while expanding and guaranteeing their admittance to standard educational facilities, wellbeing and vocation. Feeble land record frameworks, destitution, ignorance and exploiation have brought about persistent drainage of assets thereby prompting pauperization of tribal communities.
