Me and My World (Documentary) [HQ]
Natural Learning is a part of every child. School systems fail to understand the importance and relevance of 'natural learning' and euthanize it within formal curriculum.
The Biological Diversity Act (BDA) of India fails to protect and promote the rights of traditional knowledge of Adivasis (original inhabitants). BDA believes that formal education is the key to all-round development of the Adivasis. Currently, state-run schools in remote villages boast quantity but fail to report the majority of Adivasi dropouts.

that was a wonderful footage. We tend to neglect our adivasis and their traditional knowledge only trying to 'civilize' them by giving them western tools of survival. If we could integrate their knowledge of nature with their education, things can go a long way and the number of drop-outs will fall. The children were so full of life! Really enjoyed it!
