The country cannot turn its back towards the privileged class. The attitude is evident in the latest budget. The restructured income tax framework is a perfect example. Sadly, the plight of the underprivileged is often given less attention. The tribal community of the country is the most underprivileged of the underprivileged.
When the progress attained by the tribal community is analysed closely, the important question that emerges is: how much progress does the community has made since the independence of the country.
Needless to emphasise, the aforesaid community is the only community which has been left out completely from the march of the country from an underdeveloped country to a developing country.
Now, what the country attempts to attain is a developed status – a position among the superpowers such as the US, Russia, Germany and China.
Unfortunately, this time also, the tribal community stands nowhere near its priority list, though the country boasts of its ambitious tribal betterment policies.
This scenario increases the necessity of socially committed NGOs. Their existence serves to reduce the unjust gap.
In this edition, one such NGO is introduced.
The HRDS INDIA is a NonGovernmental Organisation based in the Indian state of Kerala. Since its inception in the year 1997, it has launched several programs to alleviate the plight of the underprivileged population – especially the tribal population.
Sadhgraha, the housing scheme launched for the tribal community by the HRDS INDIA, is one such program. It aims to find a permanent solution to the biggest question the community confronts at this juncture – that is, the question of shelter. The organisation targets to complete at least one million houses this decade.
