About Us

Don Bosco Tribal Development Society, Jamunamarathur, Jawadhi Hills

Don Bosco Tribal Development Society has been working in Jawadhi hills for the past 45yrs. Jawadhi hills is a range of hills in the eastern ghats of southern India, and is home to a tribal population of about 60,000 people in roughly 400 villages and hamlets. Situated in a reserve forest, this area has only 3 main arterial roads connecting it to the plains, and very few roads with, making access to education, healthcare and livelihood difficult for these people, compounded by the difficult geographic terrain covered by forest. The work here in the hills was initiated by Fr.Angelo Codello an Italian missionary in the 1970’s. Jawadhi hills faced the worst of drought in the seventies and the government administration in Tamil Nadu invited him here to start the watershed programme, a skill he was well known for. In order to accomplish this, he started a CBO (community-based organisation) called PLOUGH. The CBO was instrumental in digging 7 lakes and more than 100 open wells in the remote villages of Jawadhi hills. The Salesians who came after Fr.Codello continued this work to supplement the income of the people, as well as focus on the traditional mandate of the Salesians, working with the children and youth. The Salesians then started two Makkal Sangams (CBO) which are active till date.
