Telangana Governor flags off eco-friendly livelihood initiative for tribal communities in Telangana
Hyderabad, May 3 (UNI) The Governor of Telangana, Jishnu Dev Varma, flagged off vehicles carrying machinery for the production of eco-friendly leaf plates and cups, which are to be distributed to tribal villages. This initiative, funded through the Governor's Discretionary Grants, aims to support the livelihoods of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PvTGs). The flag-off ceremony took place at Raj Bhavan, Hyderabad on Saturday, a Raj Bhavan communique said. Following the event, the Governor interacted with young members of PvTG communities, including those undergoing training in leaf plate production and as nature guides. These efforts are part of a broader mission to enhance sustainable livelihood opportunities for indigenous populations. A group of 32 local youth, primarily from the Chenchu community—known for their deep-rooted connection with the forest—have been trained as nature guides at The Naturalist School in Bengaluru. With ₹15 lakh in support from the Hon'ble Governor allocated for the Nagarkurnool district, the program is designed to help these youth gain meaningful employment while enabling tourists to experience the Nallamala forest's cultural richness and biodiversity. In his address, the Governor highlighted the cultural importance of tribal communities, describing them as the original guardians of nature. He reiterated his commitment to improving their quality of life through focused and inclusive development initiatives. He remarked that Adivasis live beyond the boundaries of caste, creed, or religion, and that their lives are deeply intertwined with nature and guided by time-honoured traditions. Living with simplicity and minimal needs, they derive contentment not from material wealth, but from their harmonious relationship with the natural world. Commending the enthusiasm and potential of tribal youth, the Governor stated, 'These are not favours, these are your rights. This is your time,' encouraging them to seize emerging opportunities for growth and empowerment. The event was attended by several senior officials, including M. Dana Kishore,Principal Secretary to the Governor; Dr G. Narendra Kumar, Director General, NIRDPR; Dr A. Sharat, Secretary, Tribal Welfare; Badavath Santhosh, Collector of Nagarkurnool; Rohit Gopidi, Project Officer, ITDA (Chenchus); and Dr A Ramulu, CEO, Indian Red Cross Society (Telangana). Representatives from Leaf Plate Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Raj Bhavan, and Red Cross district units from Nagarkurnool, Bhadradri Kothagudem, and Adilabad were also present. UNI VV ARN
