Sujeeta Tudu

23 year old Sujeeta comes from the Seraikela-Kharsawan district. She belongs to the Santhal tribe, which is the largest tribal community in India. Farming is the main occupation of her community and it depends mainly on forest produce for daily needs. For her people, the relationship with the forests they inhabit is now an extremely tenuous one with extractive industries springing up right, left and centre. Sujeeta has worked extensively with 'Jan-Jangal Adhikar' in over 10 villages in her district, mobilizing people and making them aware of forest and land rights. As a video activist she will now be able to visually document this.
