The tribal societies have their own tradition of living. They manage their affairs in their own social structure. Long before, they chiefly depended upon hunting and food gathering but with the pressure of population, they gradually took to agriculture and started cottage industries. After independence, when a lot of large industries were established in the tribal areas, they also got opportunities to work in them as unskilled laborers. But inspite of immense efforts of the government, the benefits of economic development have not properly reached the tribal people. This book deals with the problems of tribal workers and tries to search opportunities for their employment in different fields. It studies tribal labour and planning for their full employment.
