Tarun Kumar, founder of the Nishchay Foundation that works among the children in the tribal villages of East Singhbhum, says that there is no such thing as discrimination between boys and girls in the tribal community, but the patriarchal social system definitely becomes a hindrance in the path of women's progress. He tells Outlook, “The houses in Tiring are identified by the names of their daughters. This initiative, which has been going on in the village for the last eight years, is an example for the entire country. Besides, through various awareness campaigns, the girls and women of the village are also getting useful information related to health, education and gender, which makes them aware, alert, and empowered about their rights.”
