Tribal Camp

In a commendable effort to promote education and understanding of tribal culture, the Post Graduate Department of Social Work at St Philomena College, Puttur, inaugurated an educational tribal camp at DEED Center, Hunsur, Mysore on 26 July 2023.

The inauguration ceremony was graced by Dr S. Srikanth, Director of DEED, who symbolically lit a solar lamp, watered plants, and offered flowers to honour the visionary social workers of our society. In his address to the students, Dr Srikanth highlighted the importance of understanding and experiencing tribal culture, drawing parallels to Mahatma Gandhi's involvement in social work and his love for humanity. He also shed light on the struggles faced by tribal communities in asserting their rights and the prevailing violence against women and related issues.
