Empowering the Community

Nwtws is involved in trying to enable the tribals to receive what their genuine entitlement holds. It is from an Adhar card, to a ration card, to a community certificate, to disability pension and the list is never ending. 

The community has been dealing with several problems with some people selling their ration card for a few bottles of liquor.  The adhar card has mobile numbers which are not theirs and it's hard to generate a new one as the OTP goes to someone else. With the untiring efforts of the NWTWS team including Novan and Vasu and the support of key Government officials we have managed to correct and enable their dues 

Opening a bank account is in itself a huge task. Problems are more with children changing their names at will. We have had great difficulty in trying to get them a certificate that they are tribals, though it is obvious to one and all that they are tribals.

We want them to know what they are due from the state and what is enshrined in the Constitution and we work towards educating and empowering them, one step at a time.
