The Centre today said it would seek a report from the Kerala government on the status of funds allocated to alleviate the poverty of Adivasis in the state.

"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.

Gehlot, who was here to inaugurate the Composite Centre for Person with Disabilities, said the Centre was ready to cooperate with the state in solving the problems of Adivasis.

A three-day camp to distribute supportive aid to differently abled persons, organised by the department of Social Justice of the state government to mark the occasion, was also inaugurated.
