As part of our agenda on participatory community action ACTION RESEARCH on relevant but current theme are being taken up for conceptualisation of the intervention strategy that enable the communities to learn the emerging challenges and frame out their role of action.
This work is based on a piece of research centering round the problem of ‘Traditional Adivasi Institutions and Development Processes in Malkangiri district of Orissa’, which in other way reflects the spurt of ethno-cultural consciousness among certain adibasi communities. Institutions are the starting point for defining ethno-cultural identity and launching of socio-economic development and socio-political or socio-cultural movement. Such study findings are the devices to exert pressure and assert the natural rights of the adibasi people over their traditional resources. Some of the adibasis feel that their resource base is being steadily eroded, and in order to protect their traditional rights over land, forest and water resources they have to keep their flock together by revamping their ethno-cultural identity and solidarity. At the same time in the planned development intervention they have to participate for maximization of their benefits.
