There are many variations found in the society among the different caste groups with regarding lifestyle, employment and living standards. Tribal people are mostly vulnerable and prone to limited scope of socio- economic development.

In spite of number of efforts and keen focus has been drawn towards wellbeing of tribal communities, still there exists a long way for achieving the development to the fullest. A systematic strategy and plan which aims at fuller utilization of resources to enhance and strengthen the tribal society is very essential.
