PURA

♦ The children of adivasis are either qualified up to middle school and doing their traditional jobs or educated up to undergraduate level and are unemployed. PURA is involved in the formation of Adivasi Grama Panchayats in all 48 adivasi villages. A cultural troup among the Tribal children was formed... ♦ Pura has been working in 48 Adivasi Hamlets of Kanyakumari district (there are totally 48 Tribal Hamllets in the district). Siemenpuu Foundation of Finland has been sponsoring the programme. It is a initial startup programme assisted by Siemenpuu Foundation with the small budget. We are continuously receiving representations from the adivasis to implement empowerment prgrammes that will lead to the development of the community. We conduct regular meetings in adivasi Hamlets and in the meetings; we receive continuous representations for introducing socio-economic empowerment programmes. The project is need based since there is a need for alternate employment.
