Padma Shri Kamala Pujari No More

The 73-year-old Paraja tribal agriculturist breathed her last at the SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, where she was admitted a couple of days ago. The Indian Tribal reports

Padma Shri Kamala Pujari

Cuttack

Padma Shri awardee Kamala Pujari passed away in the wee hours on Saturday due to a cardiac arrest. She was suffering from kidney-related ailments.

She was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of SCB Medical College and Hospital here after being shifted from a Jeypore-based hospital two days back after her condition deteriorated.

A team of four doctors from the Departments of Medicine, Nephrology and Pulmonology was formed to treat Pujari. The team was led by Medicine Department Head Professor Jayant Panda.

Pujari was conferred the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award, in 2019 for promoting organic farming and preserving over 100 varieties of indigenous seeds of different crops including paddy. She received the award from the then President Ram Nath Kovind.

Pujari, who hailed from Koraput, learned the basic techniques of preserving paddy from MS Swaminathan Research Foundation at Jeypore and went on to promote organic farming and paddy conservation in a big way. Her efforts also saw her winning the ‘Equator Initiative Award’ in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002.

Of late, Pujari was not keeping well and had undergone treatment at SCB multiple times in the past too.

In 2022, a major controversy had erupted over a video showing a social worker making the tribal activist dance with her in a hospital. In the viral video, the septuagenarian Padma Shri awardee was seen dancing in the ICU of the SCB Medical College and Hospital. 

The social worker named Mamata Behera was also seen dancing with her. The incident occurred prior to her discharge from the hospital and led to a probe by the Government.

The Paraja tribal community, to which Pujari belonged, had warned of hitting the streets if action was not taken against the social activist. The Koraput district administration had served notice on Behera and her attendant.

5 booked for forced marriage of tribal minor girl

Five persons have been booked in connection with the marriage of a minor Katkari tribal girl from Maharashtra’s Palghar district. The case was registered at the Wada police station on a complaint by the 16-year-old girl. The accused persons include her husband, aunt, uncle and an agent. The girl lost her father a few years ago. Her mother then married another man, while the teenager went to live with her grandmother. However, she too passed away within two months. The agent paid Rs 50,000 to the girl’s mother and took the teen to Ahilyanagar district, where she was forcibly married at the age of 14. After the girl became pregnant, the accused made a fake Aadhaar card and got her admitted to a hospital in Wada. When she delivered a baby girl, she was allegedly harassed and her mother was told to return the money.
