'Why, despite government aid, do tribals lag behind?' 'Why do so many tribal children drop out of school?' and scrutinizes how the tribals encounter obstacles in asserting their own rights and in availing the benefits of policies and schemes meant for their upliftment and development.

Mun Bada Hele Adibasi Hebi / ମୁଁ ବଡ଼ ହେଲେ ଆଦିବାସୀ ହେବି...

The book "ମୁଁ ବଡ଼ ହେଲେ ଆଦିବାସୀ ହେବି…" (“Mun Bada Hele Adivasi Hebi”) serves as a powerful medium to awaken the world to the invaluable contributions of Adivasis―highlighting their rich heritage, enduring identity, and profound role in shaping a sustainable future. Too often labelled as "backward," these communities are, the custodians of holistic development, demonstrating an equilibrium between nature and humanity that modernity struggles to achieve.

With rich traditions, scientific acumen, and profound ecological knowledge, Adivasis emerge as Earth’s true Green Ambassadors. Far from being relics of the past, they stand as visionaries of the future, embodying a synergy between progress and preservation. Each chapter of the book dismantles misconceptions, illustrating that Adivasi societies are not primitive but rather reservoirs of scientific thought, literature, economics, sociology, and sustainable technology. At its heart, the book calls for the empowerment of Adivasis to thrive on their own terms. It advocates for the preservation of their languages, traditions, and ways of life, rejecting the imposition of external models of development that threaten their unique identity. The book urges a redefinition of development―one that respects indigenous wisdom and embraces 'Tribalisation' as a model for sustainability.

The book "ମୁଁ ବଡ଼ ହେଲେ ଆଦିବାସୀ ହେବି…" is not just a book―it is a call to action, a journey into the heart of Adivasi knowledge and an illuminate of hope for a greener and more balanced world. The book is imperative, offering a transformative perspective on inclusivity, sustainability, and the true essence of development.
