The government announced a national lockdown in March and a lot changed. While millions of communities were affected, little attention was paid to the plight of tribals and forest dwellers.
Adivasi communities constitute a quarter of India’s population. They continue to be the most poor and marginalized section of society despite being protectors of the natural heritage .
Unfortunately they have been left out of the mainstream development folds and have time and again been forced to change their way of living.
Their situation was not very different during the COVID 19 pandemic and the subsequent lock down.
