A newspaper for, by and of the Indigenous People

Description
-
In 2003, Kota, Kurumba, Irula and Toda community members decided they needed a way to share news across the Upper Nilgiris. Their
consultation led to Nilgiri Seemai Suddhi, the region’s first Indigenous newspaper, created by community journalists. Printed quarterly and
distributed to 235 villages, it covered festivals, livelihoods, public services and local needs, prompting timely government responses and giving
tribal voices a powerful platform for collective action.
