FIR against 700 villagers and illegal detention of activists, who dared to protect their identity, heritage and existence against the onslaught of industrialization.

" Where there is justice in land, the fields and forest

"In the spirit of service and sacrifice of Christ,
CNI-SBSS would like to accompany DBSS and its
partners to engage with the reference communities,
so that they will develop the capacity (skills and
assets) to negotiate with the policy makers,
realize their rights and emerge as an alternative
political force. To move towards this direction,
communities should be sensitized socially, politically,
economically and culturally and organized to claim
their rights over livelihood means and while protecting
their identity."
