MANNAN

ARPO’s Earthlore initiative focuses on promoting the culture of tribal communities and encompasses two vital components. The Earthlore Documentation Project, supported by the Samāgata Foundation, involves extensive fieldwork to meticulously record the songs, stories, and rituals of indigenous communities.

Simultaneously, the Earthlore Fellowship Programme, backed by Tata Trusts, empowers young tribal musicians through comprehensive training, skill development, and performance opportunities, ensuring ancient rhythms thrive in a contemporary world.
