Vision

Manyapragathi envisions a future where Indigenous communities thrive with dignity, cultural pride, and sustainable progress. Our vision is rooted in strengthening tribal education systems, safeguarding native languages, honoring cultural heritage, and preserving traditional knowledge, customs, and art forms. We also strive for holistic socio-economic and socio-technological growth while protecting in-situ habitats, biodiversity, and forest ecosystems that are vital to Indigenous lifeways.

 

Mission

Manyapragathi is committed to advancing Indigenous empowerment through collaborative efforts with state and national governments, judicial bodies, educational institutions, community leaders, media, and organizations at local to global levels. Our mission focuses on expanding access to education, livelihood opportunities, higher studies, and career guidance for tribal youth. We advocate for tribal rights, effective implementation of tribal and forest laws, and adherence to international conventions protecting Indigenous peoples. Additionally, we work to raise awareness on climate change, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable forest management.
