CENTRE FOR DOCUMENTATION AND DISSEMINATION (CDD) HAKARA for Tribal Identity and Development Since its inception, MAAS through its activities has been bringing together the policy planners, administrators, activists and academicians on one platform to discuss tribal issues in the perspective of comprehensive human development. One of the communication channels complementing these efforts has been our quarterly publication in Marathi, Hakara (Clarion Call), in publication since 1980, has been exclusively devoted to discuss tribal issues pertaining to identity and development in India. Hakara now in its 36th year of publication has provided a platform to all promising young tribal activists, literateures and poets to publish their literature which have been in most cases, their maiden publications. Continuing intellectual stimulation and support by Hakara to tribal cause has been publicly acknowledged by all reputed tribal activists and literateures. Hakara happens to be the only publication in an Indian language exclusively addressing the issues of tribal identity and development, for about three decades.

HAKARA has always been regarded and referred as the “Flagship of MAAS” and plays the major role in all important activities of MAAS on tribal issues.
