Bhubaneswar, Oct 18: In a bid to promote tribal culture and raise awareness, the Simlipal Tiger Reserve has inaugurated an Adivasi (Tribal) Information Center. The center was officially opened by Forest and Environment Minister Ganesh Ram Singh Khuntia and BJP National General Secretary Sunil Bansal.
