The North India Tribal Mission (NITM) is a Christian education organisation. It has existed since 1987.
The mission participates in education promotion programmes, child welfare and Church planting, specifically with remote tribal communities in India. It has adopted 24 children, most of whom are orphans.
It is an inter-denominational group, founded by Pastor Augustine Manickathan, who grew up in a Roman Catholic family in Kerala.
Famous quotes containing the words north, india, tribal and/or mission:
“Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West,
From North and from South, come the pilgrim and guest,
When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board
The old broken links of affection restored,
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
What moistens the lip and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin pie?”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“There exists no politician in India daring enough to attempt to explain to the masses that cows can be eaten.”
—Indira Gandhi (1917–1984)
“For tribal man space was the uncontrollable mystery. For technological man it is time that occupies the same role.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“It is the mission of the twentieth century to elucidate the irrational.”
—Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1907–1961)
