    We should also organise a 'Tribal Fair' that is going to be a great source of attraction among the urban visitors where they get the opportunity to watch this ethnic world adorn with the magic of their art, crafts and culture. A Tribal Museum inside the venue will have quite far-reaching effect on the young student visitors. Such museum will offer adequate lore on the art, crafts, housing and life-styles of the various tribal groups.
