* Kerala Govt. neglecting tribals: panel* http://www.hindu.com/2007/01/25/stories/2007012500890700.htm* * Special Correspondent THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Scheduled Tribes Commission chairperson Kunwar Singh has taken exception to what he terms relative neglect of Scheduled Tribes by the Kerala Government. Mr. Singh, who visited tribal hamlets in different parts of the State, told a news conference here on Wednesday that the benefits of various welfare schemes meant for Scheduled Tribes were not reaching the target group. He had visited Kerala under the impression that being highly literate, the State might be providing better protection to the tribal population as compared to other parts of India, but he said he had found the situation in the hamlets deplorable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ours is a battle not for wealth or for power.
