The tribal population in so many village is a small compared to the indigenous people in North East. I think if it could really be work out, though such a small term, it could at least empower fe tribal. I think we can join hands and fought for the FRA (of indigenous people) to make a wider impact upon the government of India. If interested contact biblehillyouthclub@gmail.com
