    Climate-resilient sustainable tribal livelihood: IBRAD
    (MICA, 2023-02) Sharma, Adit; Iyer, Diksha; Reddy, Nisha Challa; Sengupta, Shounak; Bhanja, Niyati; Roy, S B; Mukhopadhyay, Raktima
    The project was focused on generating awareness and collaborating with tribal groups. Considering all of our backgrounds were from an urban perspective with no prior knowledge of research and fieldwork from the rural perspective, it was essential for us to have training sessions to understand the communities better, learn ways to form a seamless two way communication with them, learn scientific methods like the eco chain for creating awareness and the PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) for participatory planning and implementation by involving the community. Through digital ethnography, during our training sessions, we also had the opportunity to connect with the Lodha tribal community members of Nedam village under the same district and observe their livelihood and the village.
