India—Scheduled tribes—Government policy. 2. India—Scheduled tribes—Legal status, laws, etc.0300The Tribals constitute a share of about eight per cent of the country's population and spread over about 1/5 part of the country's land with more than 500 different tribal groups having special cultural traits and identity. India is a country of villages as the majority of its population lives in villages and far-flung remote areas. The interesting aspect is that every region of the country though connected with the cities now; however, still possesses its own peculiar traditional ethos. Also most of the rural communities/Tribal’s are still devoid of modern facilities like education, electricity, proper drinking water, health care, ample transportation, etc. But the lack of education in many of the rural belts of India is proving fatal and acting as the breeding ground for social vices, evils and paving the way to anti-social/national activities. The state government provides substantial support for rural development through various centrally sponsored schemes and state projects. However, these public programmes fall short of expectations in terms of their contribution to poverty reduction or the enhancement of the natural resource base. The challenge does not lie in the availability of funding, but rather in the need for greater efficiency and effectiveness in the large public investment programmes for local economic development. This book analyzes the social, economic, marital and economic status of Tribals in India. Students and professionals in the field of social studies and social work will find this book valuable.01IN04012018010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021499.00INRWORLD
