My name is Charan Singh Parte. I am calling from Mawai block of Mandla district of MP. In our area Baiga adivasis do not have land deeds on the land they have been working for ages. After Forest Rights act officials have given land deeds for one or one and half acre of land to them without visiting the area. Forest dept now are throwing them out by force. You are requested to help so that these Baiga adivasis can live a decent life. For more Charan Ji is at 09425164177

Mastram from Niwadi in Tikamgarh district in MP says in their town there were few trees next to a curve on the road which were owned by some influential people and they were not allowing them to cut though people were complaining from more than a year. Due to these trees the vision was obstructed and more than 35 people have died in accidents at that spot. I recorded a message on Swara and now officials have cut those trees. I thank CGnet and officials. Mastram@09981651831

My name is Santoshi Devi. I am from Ghurma Markundi in Robertsganj, Sonbhadra district UP. Displacement is a big issue for us. We used to have Govt school here but when JP cement company came here it not only bulldozed out crop and house, Govt school also got closed. JP private school needs Rs 1200. We adivasis dont have that much money and 10,000 of our children have turned into child labor and roaming around here and there. SantoshiJi@09450161801

Chhotu Adivasi from Rashtriya Dalit Mahasabha and Adivasi Adhikar Manch is talking to some landless dalits and adivasis who tell him that they dont have any land. They also tell him there is hardly any education in Govt schools their children go to. Teacher comes and sits in chair to while away time. Govt has so much land and they should give it to poor dalits and adivasis. Landlesssness is the main reason of backwardness of these people. Chhotuji@9993340372
