Mangala Muduli, a 19-year-old from Odisha’s Bonda tribe, became the first from his community to pursue medical education after clearing NEET.
Raised in a remote village with minimal access to modern education, his achievement symbolises a generational leap for the Bonda tribe, historically isolated and vulnerable.
Location: The Bonda tribe primarily resides in the isolated hilly regions of Malkangiri district in Odisha, especially in the Bonda Hills within the Eastern Ghats.
PVTGs: Bondas are one of the 13 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) in Odisha, part of the 75 PVTGs identified across India.
