Asur Adivasi Wisdom Akhra Netarhat

Asur Adivasi
Wisdom Akhra

Jobhipat, Netarhat (Jharkhand), INDIA

This Community institute has been established in May 2019, to protect the Asur language-culture and wisdom and strengthen the traditional tribal self-rule with organizing the community of Asur. Because, Asur's are struggling to save their language, culture, ancestral wisdom and traditional knowledge system. According to UNESCO World Atlas of Endangered Languages Asurr language is in Definetily Endangered category. Bauxite mines of Birla have ruined their lives. Tata has grabbed their traditional knowledge of iron making puting them marginalized. In Ved-Puranas-fables they are portrayed as demons. The victorias festivals of brutal murders of the Asur ancestors like Ravan, Mahishasura are celebrating by the Hindu's. Among all these circumstances, we have established 'Asur Adivasi Wisdom Akhra' center in Jobhipat village of Netarhat (Jharkhand) for the protection of their survival and preservation of language, culture and ancestral wisdom.

An Online Community Sharing and Learning Centre

for Adivasi community leaders, activists, students, scholars and those interested in Adivasi subjects.

Sharing knowledge and experiences to survive the future with new tools

Implementation of e-learning is a major challenge in Adivasi and rural areas where there is no internet access. But in the era of Covid-19 pandemic, e-learning and sharing has now become a global imperative. Due to this, not only educational institutions but also organizations working at the community level have been forced to do virtual activism. Keeping this new scenario in mind, we have started this online learning project. Under this online learning, one month course has been started on various issues of Adivasi subjects from September 2020.

Documenting and Digitizing Endangered Languages of Jharkhand  

Documenting and Digitizing


Endangered Languages of Jharkhand

In fact Adivasi wisdom is a library of immeasurable knowledge of a particular geographical area in which the Adivasi people live.

And it is preserved in many oral languages whose documentation is essential for future generations.
Oral Adivasi wisdom is a priceless heritage of the world. The knowledge and experiences of this planet and life have been preserved by the Adivasi community in many oral forms of their languages, songs, stories and art work. But much of this priceless Adivasi knowledge and heritage remains unwritten and has not been documented and digitized. Due to external cultural pressures, whose extinction is increasing day by day. Therefore, the Foundation is committed to documenting and digitizing the oral Adivasi knowledge tradition.

ADIVASI CONTENT TRAVELERS

Internet is the most popular and widely accessible medium in terms of transactions, expansions and collections of information. Due to the device like mobile now it has already become more effective, and it has become a habit of every human's habit. But there is a lack of accurate and factual information, data, information and photos related to Indian Adivasis on the internet. Those who are, they present very wrong, misleading, factual and stereotype racial images of the Adivasis. Therefore, it is necessary to update the information related to the Adivasis on the internet and provide as much and correct and factual information as possible. The concept of Adivasi Content Travelers program has been envisaged keeping in mind this important need. The aim of this program is to provide maximum representation of the Adivasi information and the information available on the internet (like wikipedia, youtube and other social media) with the help of the community.
