Hazaribag
MP Manish Jaiswal and tribal affairs expert Bulu Iman will be soon contacted for guidance regarding this, he added.
The tribal study centre, built on a three storied building, was constructed at a cost of Rs 6 crore and was inaugurated in January 2024. However, it failed to start after its inauguration. The centre houses four studios, four classrooms, one auditorium, office, library, computer room, director's chamber, cafe and other facilities.
The main aim of the centre was to enable students learn about
tribal civilisation
and culture while creating employment opportunities.
Singh said that after inspecting the tribal studies centre, he has given the responsibility to Dr Vinod Ranjan, chairman of the department of anthropology to prepare a proposal in this regard and submit the draft on May 2. The anthropology department of VBU is known for setting records in tribal studies and research.
The vice chancellor said a high level committee will be conducted soon by including tribal teachers working in the university headquarters and teachers expert in tribal matters.
