Anil emphasized on the urgent call and need for Indigenous language integration in the curriculum in the schools because of which Indigenous Peoples children are forced and imposed to read and study in the language which is not their native or mother tongue. This consequently has longer negative impact on their IQ and cognitive level.

Brij emphasized on engagement of Indigenous Peoples at different level including at senior management and policy level, provision of opportunities for young Indigenous Peoples in different forums of IFAD, involvement of independent Indigenous Peoples evaluators to bring Indigenous Peoples perspective during evaluation of programs and also, allocating resources to further improve well-being of Indigenous Peoples without harming nature and ecosystem as IPs highly depend on natural ecosystem.
