MoU Signed Between Guru Ghasidas Central University and Tribal Research & Knowledge Centre (TRKC)
Chhattisgarh’s Tribal Heritage to Gain New Recognition
Raipur : A new chapter has begun in the field of tribal studies with the signing of a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Guru Ghasidas Central University, Bilaspur, and the Tribal Research & Knowledge Centre (TRKC), New Delhi. This collaboration will pave the way for advanced research on the tribal communities of Bastar and Surguja, focusing on their rich traditions, cultural heritage, and socio-economic structures.
The MoU was signed by Prof. Abhay S. Randive, Registrar of Guru Ghasidas Central University, and Shru Rajeev Sharma, Chhattisgarh In-charge of TRKC. Under this agreement, research activities on Chhattisgarh’s tribal communities will be carried out over the next three years. Present on the occasion were Prof. Alok Kumar Chakrawal, Vice-Chancellor of Guru Ghasidas University, Prof. Neelambari Dave, former Vice-Chancellor of Saurashtra University, Shri Vaibhav Surange, All India Youth Head of Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram, along with several professors, researchers, students, and distinguished citizens.
Speaking about the initiative, Shri Rajeev Sharma said that TRKC plays a vital role in promoting tribal studies across universities and colleges in India. With this MoU, the pace of research on Chhattisgarh’s tribal communities will significantly accelerate.
He emphasised that the research will explore unexplored dimensions of tribal life, including their ancient traditions, socio-political structures, systems of governance, indigenous entrepreneurship, sustainable development practices, and innovations. The findings will not only enrich public knowledge but also empower tribal youth by reconnecting them with their glorious heritage and cultural systems.
Registrar Prof. Abhay S. Randive highlighted that the MoU will facilitate joint research projects, area-based case studies, and capacity-building programmes for youth, administrators, and tribal stakeholders. Planned activities include- leadership development workshops and certificate courses, guidance sessions for social impact-based start-ups and innovations led by tribal youth, awareness campaigns within tribal communities with the participation of subject experts and faculty members as well as the seminars, lectures, conferences, roundtable discussions, and public dialogues focused on tribal issues.
The research findings will be disseminated through libraries, research publications, and academic databases, ensuring wider access to knowledge on tribal communities.
Prof. Randive added that the outcomes of these studies will also serve as a foundation for incorporating tribal issues and knowledge systems into academic curricula, thereby providing recognition and scholarly space to Chhattisgarh’s tribal legacy.
This landmark collaboration marks a step forward in giving Chhattisgarh’s indigenous communities a stronger academic identity while ensuring that their traditions, history, and innovations are documented, preserved, and shared with the world.
