HALMA 2023
PARMARTH KI PARAMPARA ~ 25 - 26 February 2023
Halma - The Bhil Tradition
Halma is an age old tribal practice of working together to help the ones in need. Whenever any member of the Bhil tribe is in need of help, the village would come together to help the person. People participating in Halma would selflessly help the person without expecting anything in return, and consider it as their duty and culture.
Halma - A Mass Movement for Environment Conservation
Ignition
The youth and elders together breath a new life to this age –old practice and reinvented it at whole new level to solve the problems being faced by the society. Thus Halma as a movement was born out of tribal people’s concern for Mother Earth.
Conversation and Campaign
- A mass mobilization campaign is run for 3 months. The team of 2000 volunteers organizes meetings covering 1500 villages of Jhabua, Rajasthan & Gujarat
- A traditional invitation (teru) is done inviting everyone for the Halma at Hathipawa hills.
Confidence and Conviction
On the set date more than 40,000 tribal people will gather and undertake the herculean task of water conservation by digging contour trenches on the Hill of Hathipawa.
