Tribal Development: Post Globalisation

Tribal people of India contribute a lion’s share in the total population of the country, so the Govt. has to pay primary attention for the development. They contribute more than 8 per cent of the total population of the country. At present there are more than 250 scheduled tribes with several sub-group speaking more than 100 languages. They have their separate socio-culture, customs, traditions, marriage style, and living standard. They are economically poor and far away from the modern technology. They are mostly dependent upon the forest products. The tribals are mostly illiterate, local, Sahukars, Moneylenders, Mahajans and other exploit them. Unless a proper care has not to be taken for their up-liftment, the economic development of the country is not possible. In spite of our plans no significant development has been made for their growth in standard of living.
