Particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTG) were popularly known as Primitive tribal group (PTG) in early times after independence. Later in 2006, it was renamed into Particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTG) by Government of India. Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) are a sub-classification from the broader class called scheduled tribes. Among 705 aboriginal tribes only 75 tribes are identified as PVTGs who are primitives among the primitives, backward among the backward, most neglected, and disadvantaged groups. High concentrations of PVTGs are found in Odisha (13) followed by 12 in Andhra Pradesh and 09 in Bihar including Jharkhand. They are more vulnerable to westernization and modernization because of globalization, industrialization, usage of cash money system, shrinking forests and lesser rights on their forest habitats. They are usually socially, educationally and economically under-developed when compared to other tribes.
This study explores the financial challenges faced by PVTGs, with a specific focus on their access to credit and its impact on their economic conditions. The study identifies the need for more inclusive financial products that address their specific needs. Financial inclusion implies providing the access to finance for the people at the bottom of the pyramid. The financial inclusion of the rural people remains the challenge because the poor people, especially the tribal people, do not have knowledge and are financially illiterate. They cannot also bank and require specialised support to access financial capabilities. The marginalised people do not have access to finance, and the social collateral or the social capital enables the marginalised members to get access to finance.
