tribal identity

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."
