Awareness Towards Different Issue Related to Women:
In our society a majority of women are still victims of family violence, dowry torture and many other social stigmas, even their physical and mental health is being neglected, they are always neglected in decision making and bound to obey the male members of the family.

We offered our programmes to make them aware about their own rights, to organize and unite them to raise their voice for their own, to bring them into the process of asserting rights, greater say in decision making process and to enable them to be aware of gender inequality.

Many often they are compelled to make sex with number of men. The tribal men being away from their families often are involved in illicit relationship with their co-female workers. Hence both male and female tribal’s are susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS. The tribal’s are still not very much vulnerability of HIV/ AIDS and they are often obscured with some kind of superstitions or others. Their illiteracy and ignorance are often suicidal and their access to information is very limited.

Naturally the participants were also from different categories and segments of the society. We feel firmly that, any activities for the social development becomes effective and fruitful through the mental up liftment with benevolent attitude. As a society cannot have its existence without human being similarly no problems can be solved without dipping into its roots. We have been trying through our workshops with various types of classes with different ages and social surroundings for their up-liftment so that they taste a healthy social life and can sustain within that atmosphere. To achieve that value of life and create a healthy society some sort of tools are necessary to teach them. Those tools are nothing but Art and Culture. Those artistic and cultural activities do not end to presentation on stage but these cultural activities spread in the minds of men, on the streets and in natural surroundings under open sky. We have continued these cultural activities with different kinds of men at different place successfully this year also.
