Tribal
and Adivasi Sunday was celebrated at MBC Bible College, Hyderabad on 7th of August 2016.
It was an enlightening evening, the whole community gathered at the academic
centre to participate and celebrate through this worship.
It was a enriching experience to the whole
community to know about various tribal and adivasi groups in India. A power
point presentation was made to educate the community about the rich culture and
tradition of various tribes in India. MBC
community remembered the life and living style of the tribal and adivasi people
amidst of the discrimination and subjugation they face. An attempt was made not
to romanticize the plight of the tribals but to understand the resistive modes
they employed for their survival in midst of struggle.
Mr.
Suju Marandi, an adivasi from the Santal tribal area was invited to share the
word of God. He explained the condition of the tribal and adivasi people in his
region and shared God’s word from tribal perspective relating with various
issues.
The SCMI Regional Secretary of the
college Mr. Immanuel Pradeep had creatively planned and organized the service
under the guidance of the Principal Rev.
Dr. I.P. Asheervadam, faculty advisors and the Chaplain and appreciate
the role of NCCI and particularly the Tribal and Adivasi concerns for equipping
the institutions with worship order and posters.
