The Digital Knowledge Repository of Best Practices identifies and documents best practices in the area of tribal welfare and development through a Nomination-Based research and documentation methodology. The research-based case studies of well-performing projects are produced, which are then shared with the domain experts and larger audience groups of practitioners and are put in the public domain.

The documentation process follows an independent research methodology. It is distinctive for its approach of selection of best practices, which is based on nomination, evaluation presentation of shortlisted nominees, online assessment and expert consultations, interviews and interactions.

This is unparalleled documentation of contemporary Indian history of best practices in tribal affairs that will contribute to forming one of the largest online Knowledge Repositories.
