Picture this.
A vehicle drives into a cluster of tribals -Santhal, Munda, Ho, Oraon or any other. There
is an initial pause filled with the hostility and mistrust usually reserved for outsiders.
But as the onlookers realize that the visitors are from Tata Steel's Tribal Cultural
Society (TCS), the hostile attitude is replaced with a wave of warm camaraderie, followed
by generous cups of chai and then eager participation in developmental discussions. The
children in the area gather around and beam their shy and curious smiles at the visiting
'didis' and 'bhaiyyas.'
This is evidence of the faith the Company enjoys in the communities. It also stands
testimony to the many years of effort that it has invested in the area, and the web of
empowering activities it has carried out for those living on the very edge of modern
civilization |
