Indigenous people day

                Owing to the Indigenous people day, Tribals from Kozhikamuthi Elephant camp including cavadis and mahouts were felicitated. Over the centuries the Malasar tribal communities have lived in harmony with the elephants and which adapted them with the specialised knowledge and skill to train the captive elephants. The Malasar tribes are expertised in capturing, taming and handling wild elephants. The elephants of this camp have made journeys to different parts of the country to capture and tame rogue elephants. Tribal day was celebrated in Government Higher Secondary School, Ramalingam colony, Coimbatore on 09.08.2024 in which 12 Malasar community people were felicitated. They also performed a folklore about their age-old cultural practices depicting their  biophilic lifestyle. During the program, about 75 school students were sensitized about the importance of indigenous communities and conservation significance of our State animal.
