Addressing the students during the Inaugural Session, Chief Guest Shri T. Roumuan Paite, Chairman & Managing Director, National Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporation (NSTFDC) averred, “I work for the welfare of tribal community in India and today the world is looking at tribal societies for finding solutions to various problems. We have lots of tribal technologies in India such as traditional healers, tribal eco-friendly business constructions, climate responsive house designs, which are sustainable and eco-friendly. Bheel tribes in Rajasthan have a unique rain harvesting system and Khasi Jayantia tribes in Meghalaya have bamboo stick irrigation systems, which are natural and safe for the environment. In addition, beautiful tribal paintings, embroideries, metal casting and many other useful sustainable solutions are available in the tribal parts for the country, however, we have the tendency of looking at the European countries for technological advancements and innovations. Let us also look at our own tribal societies since our tribal practices and traditional knowledge system can cure serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes. We must make use of the huge repository of traditional tribal practices and knowledge available in our country, in our search for next gen technologies.”
