Chumuki Behera, a woman from the Kandha Gouda Adivasi community in Daspalla (Nayagarh), raises a critical concern.
She highlights that most families from her community in neighboring Kandhamal district have already been issued #KandhaGaud caste certificates. However, the local administration in her area has taken no concrete steps to do the same.
Chumuki earnestly appeals to the government to extend equal recognition to all Kandha Gaud families in her region by issuing caste certificates. This recognition would enable them to access crucial government welfare schemes and entitlements.
🗣️ It’s time for inclusion, justice, and equal rights.

On-Time Support = Empowered Farmers" 🌱
Jagannath sagadia, a farmer from Khairpadar village in Kalahandi, benefited greatly from the timely seed distribution last season. The free seeds helped him grow enough food for his family and earn some money.
This year, he urges the government to ensure seed delivery by October 15, so that his farming cycle is not disrupted and his family’s food security remains intact.

Denied Identity, Denied Rights — A Call for Correction
Rajini Nayak, a woman from the Kandha Gouda Adivasi community in Daspalla, brings to light a pressing concern — several families are wrongly recorded as Tanla Gouda (OBC) instead of Kandha Gouda (ST).
This error has led to students being denied educational support, and families losing access to ST-specific welfare schemes.
We appeal to the authorities to:
✅ Urgently review and correct caste records
✅ Provide ST certificates to all eligible Kandha Gouda members
✅ Stop student dropouts caused by such misclassification
This is not just a paperwork issue — it’s a matter of justice, dignity, and equal opportunity.

Maini Murmu from Khuntabila village (Kaptipada Block, Mayurbhanj) has a 60% disability certificate but receives no disability allowance and is denied 5kg rice under the Food Security Scheme.
Why the delay in her rightful support?
This is unjust. Authorities must take immediate action!

Locked Out of School, Left Out of Support — Just for Not Having Aadhaar!
