samvaad

Tata Samvaad, a tribal conclave in Jamshedpur by the Tata Steel Foundation, showcased diverse indigenous cuisines from 35 tribes. Around 140 home chefs shared unique dishes like ragi samosa, demta chutney, dudh puli, etc, highlighting the cultural significance of their ingredients.

Tata Samvaad, enabled by the Tata Steel Foundation in Jharkhand, brings together 200 tribal communities annually to celebrate their rich culture and identity through art, food, workshops, and conversations.

Deriving its name from the Sanskrit word for ‘dialogue,’ Samvaad, organised by Tata Steel, is one of the largest tribal conclaves or ecosystems in India. It has reached out to more than 10,000 people and 17 countries worldwide.

“Any form of development requires coordination. But for the longest time, tribal communities have lived on the margins of mainstream discourse that impact them the most. Samvaad as a platform is seeking answers to this reality."

Vision India Foundation is a unique initiative to involve youth in the country’s development by providing them exposure, training and opportunities in policy making and governance.
