[Source: Cultural Survival weekly indigenous news who got it from Asia Africa Intelligence Wire, March 16, 2005.]

In summary, a rep from Indian government laid the foundation of a girls' school in the Palakkad District in the state of Kerala (India) as a gesture to demonstrate gov't committment to this tribal region of India that has been fighting for years for economic support from the government.

The state of Kerala is located in a southwestern coastal slice of India, kinda how California is situated in the United States. Palakkad District reaches for the Arabian sea, but doesn't quite make it.
