The Padams, Milangs, Komkars, Minyongs and Pasis collectively call themselves as ADI meaning hill people.

The Adi trace their origin from Pedong Nane, the ancestral mother of Tani-the man. Pedong Nane was the great grand daughter of Sedi Melo the creator.

Villages:

From a distance, village appears like an assemblage of huts with jackfruit trees in and around the surrounding. Houses are constructed in rows with ample space and passages for emergency purposes demonstrating a sense of planning. At the center of the village is the council hall called DERE or MOSUP where social and cultural affairs of the village are discussed. Granaries are constructed preferably at the village outskirts to avoid fire accidents.
