Who's Narikuravar

The Narikuravar, also called Narikuravar, are an indigenous group from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. And its estimated population around 120000. The main occupation of the people who originally belong to the indigenous tribes is hunting. But as they were prohibited entry in to the forests to pursuit his livelihood, they were forced to take up other alternatives such as to make and sell beaded ornaments, imitation jewelry products at bus stand, railway station, temples, and pathways to survive. Hence, they migrate from place to place to find a market for their beads. Children accompany the adults wherever they go, these children are not able to attend school properly. The Narikuravas speak the unclassified Indo-Aryan language called Vaagri. Almost all Narikuravas are well-versed in Tamil. However, most of the Narikuravar traditional hymns and folk songs are in Vaagri language.


There has been discrimination of Narikuravas since ancient times. However, the Narikuravas are to be now recognized as a scheduled tribe. Uneducation and unemployment are other problems which afflict the Narikuravas community. The proscription of fox-hunting as well as killing endangered species of birds and wild life have depleted the Narikuravas of their traditional sources of livelihood. The major issues which confront Narikuravas are poverty, illiteracy, diseases and discrimination. On 2010, Thiru.R.Vijayasundaram formed organization named NEED TRUST was formed in order to educate Narikuravas children and facilitate them to lead a settled life. Need trust organizarion, have poured in efforts to improve the lives of the Narikuravas.

Past Assignments

NEED Foundation is a registered body in late 2010. Since its inception, the main mission of this organization has been to provide educational facilities to the poor and economically disadvantaged children of the nomadic community who do not have access to education. For this purpose, this foundation is to identify nomadic children in many parts of Tamil Nadu and enroll them in primary education institutions run by the government.

In this way, it was found that children who have completed primary education continue to yearn for secondary, higher secondary and college studies. Many times they stop their studies midway due to family circumstances. To the students who continue to pursue hig her education in this way. Educational institutions suitable for life background are not available. Therefore, for these students, the parents of the beneficiary students and their supporters arrange appropriate financial facilities and NEED a hostel for these students at Pallavarayanpettai, Mayiladuthurai, Nagai District. It is run by the Foundation. About 100 students here. NEED Foundation is providing higher education & college education through government/private educational institutes with proper facilities.

Living facilities for the nomadic ethnic groups, especially in the delta districts due to the receding Cauvery, have diminished, affecting children born to them. As a result, they are unable to provide education and are forced to engage them in business and labor.

NEED wanted to change this situation. The foundation has been running a hostel for students at Mayiladuthurai, Pallavarayanpettai for the last 25 years. Here both male and female students are accommodated separately and from there they continue their education in various government/private educational institutions. In particular, for the students in this hostel, NEED Foundation is providing private training classes, quality clothes, transportation facilities, book expenses, school/college fees, pre-work assured quality food and other basic facilities with/without any government funding, and also grants & aid from the government.

The NEED Foundation does not compromise on ensuring that these students have three jobs, food and quality clothes. This kind of work has been done by the NEED Foundation for the past 25 years, so currently around 25 children of simple families in Delta districts are getting education in government colleges. It is the undisputed mission of the Foundation that a few people complete their degree in colleges and choose higher education or join a suitable job.

The special feature of running this hostel is that the parents of the beneficiary students who have received their love from the supporters of the foundation are the direct donors of the hostel. Donation supporters of this hostel pay clear attention to the further education of these students and take them on the path of progress. Also, the donors directly provide them with typing education, computer training and technical training.

Today, around 100 students are continuing their higher education / college education, which is ensured through this foundation. To continue this work, the trustees of this foundation work selflessly and the students who have studied here are currently managing the foundation. It is a proud message. By this they NEED Foundation strongly believes that the legacy can be passed on to the next generation.
