        abstract = {Kodavas are among the earliest inhabitants of Kodagu they are an indigenous land-owning community of hunters and warriors, with strong ties to the land and a martial tradition. This paper tries to review the powerful address at UNGA 100 Disruptors Summit at United Nations, Sep.21, 2024 by Poonacha Machaiah on preserving kodava tribal culture. Culture is defined as ‘a way of life of a people or community’, in this case the Kodava tribe, comprising the many aspects that together make that ‘way of life’ – their dress, language, social structure, ancestral homes, religious practices, customs, festivals, songs and dances. Kodavas have a unique culture and rituals. It is necessary to preserve the community, and several rights in this regard are granted to us by the Indian Constitution it’s a crucial step towards a more sustainable and mentally resilient world.},
