ABSTRACT
Scheduled Tribes constitute the weakest section of India’s population from the ecological, economic and educational angles. They constitute the matrix of India’s poverty. They are practically deprived of many civic facilities and isolated from modern and civilized way of living since so many centuries. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MTA), it was pointed out, ‘There are more Scheduled Tribal (ST) below the poverty line than those from other communities. Their economy is less diversified than other communities. It is largely based in and around agriculture. It is seen that wide gaps exist between the scheduled tribes and general population in the basis of various socio-economic indicators. The level of the socio-economic development varies considerably between tribal & non-tribal population, between one tribe and another tribe and even among different sub-group of tribal groups. Thus their problems differ from area to area within their own groups. The development schemes have to be devised in the light of socio-cultural factors and economic needs of the tribals in each region and same times each community. The significance of social, cultural factor cannot be ignored in formulation of schemes for their all round development. The development schemes have to be devised in the light of socio-cultural factors and economic needs of the tribals in each region and same times each community.
