EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT

AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT..
A school started by Fr. Zephrenus Baxla SDB, in Loordippa, some 35 km. from Chainpur (Jharkhand). The school was established in 2000 and today there are about 600 boys and girls from classes I to X. It has 16 teachers. The school also provides hostel facilities where there are 350 boys and girls. The students come from Delhi, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and different parts of Jharkhand.
The school is unique because there are very few schools which have Kurux as the medium of instruction. The students are taught in English and Kurux (their mother tongue). Mother tongue as the medium of instruction helps in the intellectual development of the children. Moreover, education in their mother tongue gives them a sense of identity, of belonging to a tribe. On the visit to school one can easily find the children interacting in English with confidence and speaking their mother tongue Kurux with pride.
The school is primarily for the tribals (Christians and Sarna). There are not Hindus and well-to-do people and children from business class.Four batches have passed out from the school and they are doing their college studies. They come to visit Loordippa every year.

Tribal woman sees livelihood option in rearing pigs


Aug 22, 2013, 12.09AM IST



DALTONGANJ: Swine fever is the most common ailment among pigs during rainfall. This has became a cause of concern for a woman mukhiya of Chiyankipanchayat in Palamu.RoshniToppo (36), who has a piggery at her residence, is worried about the breakout of swine fever and brings in vials of injections, which cost Rs 100 for 5 ml each.
Having being trained in piggery at the Ranchi Veterinary College, she administers the injection to pigs herself.
There is a perception among people about pigs loving filth, dirt and garbage. But Toppo busts this myth, "Cleanliness is to be maintained where pigs are reared." Her piggery has more than a dozen pigs now. Started in the year 2010, Toppo met with little success in the beginning. Out of her 10 pigs in 2010, a couple of them died. But Toppo was not one to give up and continued with her pursuit despite all odds. She plans to further expand this and takes pride in being the only woman in Palamu to be involved in this trade.

Dr Narayan Oraon decided to create a new script for his native language, Kurukh, which is usually written with the Devanagari alphabet. His alphabet was published on 15th May 1999, and introduced into some schools later that year. It was formally recognised by the government of Jharkhand in 2007.


Tolong Siki is an alphabetic script based on brahmi model. two designed fonts are available for TolongSiki.
1. Singi dai -designed by Nemhas Ekka of lahardaga , released in march 2007

Tolong Siki is now promoted by the Kurukh Literary Society, and quite a few books and magazines have been published in it. It also taught in a number of schools.

Notable features

Kurukh (कुड़ुख़), a Dravidian language spoken mainly in the Indian state of Orissa, and also in Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal, by about two million people.

TOTEM SYSTEM

Gotra or Totem system plays very important role in the social structure of Kurukhs(Oroans).
The Kurukhs have large number of septs of the totemistic type, named after plants and animals.
The Oraon families accorded a very high respectable position to the above mentioned living beings and non-living beings mentioned above.
The hunting of these living beings or cutting of trees/plants are strictly prohibited among the people belonging to the respective Gotra.
Members of any sept commonly abstain from killing or eating their sept totem.
A man must not marry a member of his own sept nor a first cousin on the mother's side.
It is believed that youngsters belonging to same Gotra are considered to be siblings; hence the marriage in the same Gotra was firmly avoided among the Oraon families.
The names show that as usual with the tribes of this part of the country the law of endogamy is by no means strict.
 The tribe have also a large number of exogamous septs of the totemistic type, named after plants and animals.
According to the popular belief of Oroans, each of these Gotra/Totem has wonderful positive energy to help its family members in the time of need.
Each of these Gotra has legendary story going back to the ancient times, where they had helped their families to overcome hard times.
Majority of oraons write their septs. 
List of totemistic names of Kurukhs:

Militant Insurgency



In the early 21st century, India is experiencing unprecedented economic growth. The middle class is becoming more prosperous and numerous, the cities are rapidly expanding. But to fuel this economic boom, raw materials are being extracted by mining corporations at an ever‐increasing rate from mineral‐rich states in north central India inhabited by people who can claim to be the oldest dwellers in the land. These non‐Hindu tribal groups, known as Adivasi, have traditionally worshipped nature and maintained spiritual connections to ancestral territory where they have lived for thousands of years. Yet few Adivasi hold paper deeds to their land. As mining spreads, Adivasi are being displaced into resettlement camps or urban slums, dispossessed of their heritage and surviving as scavengers on the periphery of mines where they once hunted or farmed.

A growing economic gap between urban and rural India, and the so‐called “resource curse” of a rich land but poor people, is leading to militant insurgency in the countryside and prompting debate within the Indian government and beyond. Should India continue on its centralised model of development? Can the rights of Adivasi to continue living according to their ancient traditions be accommodated in the new India?
