Forum to protest against leasing Aralam farmland

The Adivasi Gotra Jana Sabha is organizing a march and protest to the Aralam farm office on November 8 to oppose the decision to lease out acres of land originally purchased with tribal funds. Sriraman Koyon, a prominent tribal leader, expressed outrage over the leasing of land to private companies and self-help groups, despite the farm’s financial losses. He highlighted the need for land allocation for over 5,000 families, especially nuclear families. Koyon called for solidarity among tribal members to fight against what they see as exploitation and neglect by the district administration. The convention was attended by various tribal leaders and activists.
