The Problem
Persistent Inequities Faced by Indigenous Communities
Systemic Marginalization
Over 8.6% of India’s population belongs to Scheduled Tribes, yet they remain structurally excluded from education, healthcare, and digital infrastructure.
Digital & Legal Blind Spots
Most welfare schemes and learning resources are digital—but digital illiteracy, poor internet access, and lack of awareness make these tools inaccessible to tribal youth.
Undervalued Traditional Economies
Tribal crafts, superfoods, and forest goods are rich in economic potential, but without e-commerce skills or branding knowledge, they remain informal and underpaid.
Fear of Cultural Erosion:
Digital interventions often ignore indigenous culture, leading to resistance. Without culturally contextual tools, digital education becomes irrelevant.
