Stories from Bastar (Chhattisgarh)

Our Community Supported Press (CSP) partner Shiksharth periodically releases Hakum (an online magazine) focusing on amplifying the voices of children and the adivasi (tribal) communities. We have tied up with Shiksharth to host Hakum on RootsNews as well.

About Shiksharth: Shiksharth exists to develop a contextually relevant COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION MODEL FOR CHILDREN FROM SPACES OF CONFLICT AND ADVERSITY by strengthening pedagogy, systems and community in an integrated approach.
