About Us
Tribal Research and Knowledge Centre (TRKC) is a dynamic national nodal centre for tribal research, knowledge production, and academic discourse. TRKC is actively working to uphold and promote the principles of Asmita (identity), Astitva (existence), and Vikas (development) through multi-sectoral and community-engaged approaches in research.
Our mission is not merely to document or preserve tribal cultures but to institutionalize them as valid, critical, and coequal systems of knowledge, worthy of integration into education, governance, and global research.
Mission & Vision
To be a national and global leader in advancing tribal knowledge systems and fostering identity (Asmita), existence (Astitva), and development (Vikas) through community-rooted research, curriculum innovation, and transformative dialogue that redefines how tribal communities are represented and understood in the Indian context.
Guiding Principles
Our Approach
Asmita
Asmita encapsulates the holistic identity of Janjati communities, encompassing their historical memory, cultural practices, linguistic diversity, and spiritual worldviews.

Astitva
Astitva, or existential being, for Janjati communities is deeply rooted in their symbiotic relationship with natural ecosystems—water, forests, and
land.

Vikas
Post-independence models of development have often marginalized tribal regions, leading to ecological degradation, dispossession, and socio-economic disparities.
