Our Journey
Recently, due to the interactions among various social groups, the strength of traditional norms and ways of life of the tribes has been weakened. Changes are noticed in their life and socio-cultural practices both in rural and urban areas which are affecting the core of their culture. To overcome such challenges, a group of social engineers and think tanks decided to form a trust namely, Donyi Polo Cultural and Charitable Trust (DPCCT).
