The Directorate of Tea Tribes and Adivasi Welfare (TTWD), under the Government of Assam, is the Adivasi welfare society responsible for implementing various schemes aimed at improving the socio-economic conditions of the Tea Tribes and Adivasi communities. These include educational scholarships, skill development and entrepreneurship programs, self-employment grants, financial support for women SHGs, and more.
