A small note about Tribal people.

The tribe numbers around 215,000 spread across three states: 189,621 in Tamil Nadu, 23,721 in Kerala and 10,259 in Karnataka. Those in Karnataka are named Iruligas. The Irulas are mainly concentrated in northern Tamil Nadu: in a wedge extending from Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri  districts in the west to Ariyalur and Cuddalore districts in the south and Tiruvallur district in the north. Small populations live in Coimbatore and Nilgiris districts and were classified by Thurston as a different population. In Kerala, the Irulas are in Palakkad district, while in Karnataka they are concentrated in Ramanagara and Bangalore districts.

Cattle-breeding is main source of income. Wild resources like honey, firewood and the like are also collected. The main occupation of the Irulas has been snake and rat catching. They also work as labourers (coolies) in the fields of the landlords during the sowing and harvesting seasons. Fishing is also a minor occupation. The original occupation of these people was rat and snake catching. Since the abolishing of snake catching by the Indian Government, the community had to abandon their migratory lifestyle and make their living among the suspicious mainstream society. The community has settled down in the outer edge of various villages, trying to make their living in as daily laborer in the fields, bonded labour in rice mills. Since, they do not have education and relevant livelihood skills.

WOMENS DAY CELEBRATION

Due to COVID-19 Second wave spread, We took several days to prepare ourselves for conducting women’s day celebrations. We decided to call small number of our self-help group members for the celebrations. We took all precautionary methods like sanitizers, masks and social distancing.

During the celebration we insist our members to participate and learn skills for increasing their livelihood. We advised them to educate their children without fail. Most of our beneficiaries are aware of the value of education and use of skills at critical conditions like financial hardships. During the celebration, many of our beneficiaries shared their stories to others.

One of our beneficiary said “ My name is Kavitha, aging 36 years. I am from poor family. My husband worked in private company and earned hand some salary to run our family and educate our two children without difficulties.

But all of a sudden, COVID-19 lockdowns imposed in 17^th March, 2020, My husband could not go to work. We some how managed, two months without salary, By May,2020 we become bankrupt. Another one month more we managed. We want to borrow money from someone, but no one is there to lend money.

In june,2020 CHHASE NGO provided us relief material which was useful to run our family for one month. During this relief distribution, CHHASE NGO staff said “ you have already learned sewing and why don’t you try to stich blouses and petty coats and earn. With their advice, I started my sewing business without any capital. For 3 months, I earned Rs.150 per day, which was moderately sufficient to run my family. Now I became known sewing businesswomen, I am earning Rs.600 per day.

I told my husband to help me in this business and next month I am going to open a shop in nearby town. Learning a skill is always beneficial and it will help us when we are in helpless condition.”
