Hyderabad: The tribal welfare department will be organising a week-long training workshop for the tribals in Telangana and from other states from January 4 to 10, at Nagarjuna Sagar.
The closed-door workshop is aimed at raising awareness among tribals, including those from the Primitive Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) residing in the agency areas of Telangana and other states. It will cover various constitutional provisions designed to protect their rights, government schemes available to them, and other relevant topics.
A total of 100 representatives from various tribal groups in Telangana, along with 50 tribals from other states across the country, have been invited to participate in the workshop.
The workshop will feature a two-hour interactive session each day with two Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) addressing the tribal representatives. Chief minister A Revanth Reddy will deliver the closing address on December 10, the final day of the workshop.
Participants will also undertake a field visit to nearby tribal hamlets to learn about their way of life, customs, and traditions.
Chairman of the Scheduled Tribes Cooperative Finance Development Corporation (TRICOR), Bellaiah Naik, has stated that the workshop will be a life-changing experience for the participants, who are expected to share the knowledge gained with their communities upon their return.
