Three tribal villages to be adopted

Staff Reporter

DINDIGUL: The district police administration has decided to adopt three remote villages on Kodaikanal hill to keep tribals in regular stream of life and prevent them from getting involved in Naxal or extremist activities. The identified villages are Kadugudhadi, Thamaraikulam and Anna Nagar on lower Kodaikanal hill.

These decisions have been taken at a special meeting presided over by the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Dindigul Range), Sailesh Kumar Yadav, at Batlagundu near here on Monday. Situated on the remote areas of lower Kodaikanal hill, these villages do not have any amenities and many tribals are illiterate and unemployed. To begin with, a special police wing will take education and health care to these villages and ensure livelihood activities of the tribals living there. After the initial survey, it is found that only 10 out of 300 people living at Thamaraikulam are literates.

The wing will work with the district administration and take income generation activities to the tribal youth by converging some of the government schemes and tribal welfare schemes of the State and Central governments.
