Kandhamal, Malkangiri and Gajapati are the most backward and tribal dominated districts in southern orissa. The Chief Minister’s demand for Tribal University at Kandhamal is a reiteration of this fact. The University should be established at Phulbani with support from across the state.

Why Sundargarh district which accounts for around half of the tribal population of the state is not in the list?
