Tribal Development Problems and Prospects of India

Addressing the Challenges of Tribal Development in India

Abstract

We have completed 60 years of India’s Independence and are planning for the Fifth Five Year Plan; it has become necessary to think over the social policy guidelines for the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Trines and denitrified tribes, which constitute the weakest section of India’s population from the ecological, economic and educational angles. They constitute the matrix of India’s poverty. From the historical point of view, they have been subjected to the worst of exploitation and social injustice.
