The desire to acquire knowledge about the surrounding world and human society is quite natural and understandable for a person. Life is so developed that an uneducated person will never occupy a high position in any field.

The speed of development depends on the quality of training.Community Empowerment by Dr. SBM Prasanna, Dr. K Puttaraju, Dr.MS Mahadevaswamy (best fiction novels to read .txt) 📖

In the deep forest of B R H hills where the western and eastern ghats forests meet in Southern Karnataka. The soligas a semi nomadic tribe have lived for ages in the deep forest. The hilly forest belt accounts for the presence of four major tibal groups consisting of JenuKurabas, KaduKurubas, Yeravas and Soligas. Tribal people over the centuries have become one of the most disadvantaged, exploited and neglected social groups in our country. They are subject to the problem of uprooting and displacement because their forest habitations have been declared wild life reserves and sanctuaries and they have been resettled in colonies in the fringes of the forest. There is a Socio environmental revolution brewing at the heart of B.R. Hills. Once socially backward and exploited Soligas the indigenous people in this region are today running successful business enterprises with the declaration of the area.
