Lack of livelihood opportunities for tribal people is one of the chief causes of their backward status as compared with the other social groups. This issue is aggravated by the high rate of displacements faced by tribal people due to various industrial projects etc., which also causes loss of livelihood for them among other things. This Ministry has been taking various steps for facilitating sustainable livelihood for tribal populations in different sectors. Stress has been given on vocational education and formal technical education for tribal youth. States are being encouraged to take upskill development initiatives for tribal youth with at least 50% of such activities to be oriented for women.

Through MyGov, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs seeks suggestions/information from all sections of the society regarding various livelihood possibilities for tribal people, availability of skilled/unskilled manpower still unemployed, various traditional skills available with the tribal population, new trends and interests among tribal youth, corresponding skilling needs and possibilities etc.

It is unfortunate that in the name of development, resources of the tribal areas as also innocence of the tribal people are exloited by the so-called carriers of the development vehicle. From this 'development' mode anyone and everyone except tribal people, get benefitted. IT NEEDS TO BE MENDATED THAT WHATEVER THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, THE TRIBAL YOUTH MUST FORM A CERTAIN PART OF IT. THE TRIBAL YOUTH MUST GET EMPLOYMENT ON PREFERENTIAL BASIS. EVEN THEREIN, THE WOMEN FOLK NEEDS TO BE CATERED TO.

Khadi gram udyog is a tremendous opportunity for helping tribal to earn, the reach of Khadi is not known in cities due to less centers. we can use online stores to enhance the penetration to high income group. Khadi can tie up with snapdeal/ flipkart and other online stores as urban life is integrated to social network. Based on the responce govt owned portal can be built. hope this helps to expand the reach of Khadi.

Unfortunately, the things have reached such a pass that the it has become imperative that to see to it that the tribal people do NOT feel scared on any count, the State, meaning, Government, both Central and State, must keep a tab on whatever is happening on the soil of tribal people. There need not be denying the fact that some ill-meaning people might be there to take undue, rather inhuman, advantage of the lack of awareness of tribal people, AND MANUPLATE WITH WHAT THEY (TRIBAL PEOPLE)HAVE.

As things stand for them today, the tribal people, instead of partaking fruit of the development the country has undergone sofar, feel threatened on the arrival of people in their area from other parts of the land. Surely, they feel that they are going to be robbed of what they feel is their own. Naturally, the onus is on the other people to soothen their feelings, to assure the tribal people that they are there not ONLY TO GRIND THEIR OWN AXE BUT TO SHARE WHAT IS THERE TO BE SHARED.

It is really astonishing that that even more than half a century of Independence, the populace of the tribal areas of this country are still awaiting a glimpse of much of the 'modern times', the other areas have witnessed. Leave aside the means of making life more comfortable, they are even losing on whatever they used to have. THE TRIBAL PEOPLE ARE RATHER FEELING BEING DEPRIVED FAST OF WHATEVER THE MOTHER NATURE BESTOWED TO THEM FOR THEIR SAFE AND SECURE SURVIAL. THINGS MUST RECTIFY.

Creating co-operative sansthas or sansthas like Khadi Gramodyog for tribals; may be "Adivasi Gramodyog" through which their art and skill may be used and developed by providing them with modern equipments and training in resect of matching their skill with people's requirement today. this would create self-emloyment for them and emloyment for many others.

By increasing day by day, the life of tribal peoples are getting worse. In most of the cases, either they are misguided or not able to get the benefit to which supposed to. We as an educated citizen can improve their life by contribute as small as we can like-we can educate them about the basic things so that they won't be misguided easily in the future, like - which are the government schemes which are active so that they can avail those benefits. By educating them we are giving them a new life
