Mysore/Mysuru: The Centre for the Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy (CSSEIP), University of Mysore (UoM), has initiated a project on Human Development Index calculations for Tribal Groups of Karnataka. The Project is sponsored by the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs.
CSSEIP Director Dr. D.C. Nanjunda said that the research project is moving at a slow pace because of the outbreak of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic last year. A visit to Tribal Hamlets (Haadis) was undertaken in January this year for collection of relevant data, he said.
