Awareness against Witchcraft

 

Since old days, ‘Witch’ lynching continues to be as one of the biggest social menace in rural areas of Odisha especially in Mayurbhanj district. Our NSS volunteers and other affiliated colleges organised a motor rally on 24^th December 2021 to aware the tribal and other rural area people on Witch. District collector Shri Vineet Bhardwaj (IAS) has flagged off the vehicle in presence of Shri Rishikesh D Khilari, Superintendent of Police, Shri S.Samadhia, Registrar, Comptroller of Finance Shri S.Tarei, Dr.S.K.Satpathy (Dept.of MSW), Dr.S.R.Das (Dept. of MBA) and others. The main aim of this programme is to educate the tribal people that how these blind beliefs are harming the social fabric, with a special focus on tribal communities especially Santhal and Kohla, who strongly believe on witchcraft. The NSS volunteers distributed leaflets and performed street play on witchcraft and superstition on various problems of real life.
