"Even after the passage of several years since India's independence, Adivasis are reeling under poverty. This is a serious issue. The Centre will seek a report from the Kerala government on the status of funds allocated for the welfare of Adivasis," Union Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment, Thawaar Chand Gehlot said here today.
