JIBAN SAMPARK : INTRODUCTION OF PVTG by Prof (Dr). Vikas Bhatia,Dr. Prajna Paramita Giri,Dr. Manish Taywade Pdf
Odisha, a land of varied cultural and geographical diversities provides shelter to people of varied socio-demographical backgrounds. Many primitive tribes with diverse needs also reside in the state. Some tribal groups are more disadvantageous in terms of geographical location, food procurement, survival skills and health status and are named as “Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups”. They are spanned over 17 different states and one union territory of India. The state of Odisha provides home to 13 such PVTGs. Most of these tribal groups have indigenous practices regarding treatment of disease posing risk to their survival. In an effort to address these issues, “Jiban Sampark” – Communication for life”, an effort to revamp health and nutrition of the PVTGs is undertaken by All India Institute of Medical Sciences in collaboration with UNICEF.I take immense pleasure to state that through this project, training would be provided to people of different sectors who would have a bearing on improving health and nutrition status of PVTGs. In the days to come, we hope to promote the health status and improvise health indicators in these remote and socially secluded communities through this path-breaking initiative.
