Tribal people of India suffered from neglect for long centuries until after
independence they were drawn into the mainstream of the national life. Much has
since been done for them, though much more remains to be done. Efforts made by
the Government to ameliorate the conditions of tribal people. The backward tribal
economy, which is characterized by extremely low level of economic activity,
provides meagre employment opportunities. Though more than 70 per cent of
tribals depend, on agriculture, their employment in this sector is hardly for 4
months in a year. During off-season these people remain idle without any gainful
employment. By and large, they eke out their living through collection of minor
forest produce, fishing, hunting, cutting of firewood etc. between one agricultural
season and the other.
Tribal development poses a challenge to ‘the policy makers, administrators and
social workers all over the world. Even after six decades of planned development,
due to the inaccessibility of the tribal areas in hilly areas and remote areas as also
extreme variations’ in the climatic conditions, the tribals have not been able to
share the gains of development equally with the non-tribals and as a result they
have remained backward and poor. The Government has tried to bring the-tribals
at par with the non-tribals by launching various developmental schemes.
Levels of living is not wholly a monetary or even an economic, concept. It is so
comprehensive as to include the material and non material consumption of
individuals living in a family and also the collective wants of groups and
communities. The factors determining the levels of living are income, size of the
family and its earning strength, social status and other cultural, social and
economic environment in which one lives and is also influenced by state action.
