GUMLA: US-based Ford Foundation's president Darren Walker has, with a team comprising Larissa Macfarquhar, Alfred Ironside from the US and Srinivasan and Kavita from India, visited Gumla on Wednesday to assess the change process carried out during the last few years within tribal communities through NGO Pradan's engagement methodology.

The foundation, in partnership with the NGO, has started self-help groups for tribal women in the past.

Walker and his team were accompanied by Raman Magsaysay winner Deep Joshi, Pradan founder, executive director Manas Satpathy, state representatives Satyabrat Acharya, Binju Abraham and Suvakant. They visited Teliya where villagers from Turidih, Unchdih and Silam gathered. Walker interacted with them to understand the various developmental works which have taken place over the years among tribal families.

The team also interacted with Mahila Vikas Mandal - the block level women federation here. Its president Sweta Devi and Kiran Bakhla informed the team about how they are in the process of a large scale social inclusion by organizing rural women.

The foundation gave away 75 bicycles to tribal women in Teliya as well as a smart TV set with a camera to the women's federation. "The manner in which you have organized yourselves for development is indeed inspiring. It could be a model for other women from different countries," said Walker to the tribals.
