Impact of the Work
- Where Seminars have been organised it has led to clarity of thought and increase in faith in one’s traditional systems; consequently an increase in self-confidence.
- Local socio-cultural/spiritual organizations have been strengthened
- The Intelligentsia are involved in the work.
- Perception of common bases and the need to strengthen these has increased.
- Inter and intra community understanding is increasing and relationships are getting strengthened.
- Experiences gathered while working among many ethnic / indigenous communities have proved the correctness of the path chosen by VKIC that culture can be a vehicle of overall development. It has, therefore, placed renewed emphasis on the concept of culture with development. Communities of Arunachal Pradesh are now in the process of being identified as models which are replicable for achieving sustainable development.
