Dear All,

Johar!
This is a call for papers for Samvaad – a tribal conclave on the theme”Coming together for social change".
Samvaad was started as a tribal conclave in 2014, where more than 1500 tribals from across the country showcased their cultural heritage and the novel experience of tribal life. All the subsequent editions of Samvaad met with resounding success with the participation of more than 3,000 scholars, thinkers, artists, development practitioners, and activists – both from the tribal as well as non-tribal communities – from more than 20 states across the country. In the best traditions of India’s indigenous peoples, Samvaad encourages dialogue, discussion, and dissent and celebrates the very essence of being tribal. Tata Steel takes great pride in hosting this one-of-its-kind forum. Through Samvaad, we aim to bring together tribal communities and stimulate an exchange of ideas, document and preserve knowledge, understand issues that affect tribal communities and highlight models that have worked to address these issues.
An essential element of Samvaad is the Paper Presentation – a one stop portal for a researched and informed perspective on a cross section of issues of tribal development to emerge from voices within academia, practitioners and the wider communities who remain concerned with the issues. The occasion enables enhanced networking across academic and tribal fraternities to promote exchange of knowledge, cross-pollination of thought and evidence based research.
