tribals in Odisha

Born in one of the most notorious villages, Dhoti in the Latehar district situated in the red corridor of Jharkhand, Rupanti Munda has one dream -- to become a coach for the Indian football team.

Returning to Delhi, she decided to quit her corporate job and luxurious life to visit tribal areas of India in an attempt to understand the extent of trafficking and empower tribal girls and women.

Vidhya Das is the founder of Agragamee, and the popular tribal women's collective, AmaSangathan. Her untiring efforts in the field of tribal development have led to a sea-change in the socio-economic conditions of countless tribals in Odisha.

Away from home, the tribal girls of Odisha are now educating themselves and dreaming big. Their new residential school is like a family which is enabling them to prepare for higher studies and a better life.
