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.

Expand opportunities of Rural Tourism and creation self help groups to tribal area for Tribes would help them to be more socially and economically oriented. Need to strengthen Rural Infrastructure such as transportation and lodgings in PPP model and their capacity such as multi-Language handling proficiency and hospitality management (Food preparation and serving) and providing good home stays and villas.

Not to talk of uneducated villagers in the tribal areas, the educated class and (GoI) central government employees from the tribal areas are denied of some government facilities. To be specific, one such case is housing loan which the government or banks refuse to give loan for those who want to construct house beyond inner line(Nagaland). Banks offers tribal+ amounting to Rs.10 lakhs max only whereas other can avail upto 50 lakhs+ depending on one's salary. Remove these kinds of disparities pls

Education is the key factor. Every tribal village should have at least one properly functioning government school and college in their locality.

The major benefits of tribal community commodities is it is ORGANIC. This is what every beauty product, health product, foods bank on in their marketing. The commodities, specially beauty or food products from tribal communities are 100% organic, this should be promoted.

certain commodities like bamboo are available in certain areas. So all connected crafts should be made use of with proper guidance. So also pottery should be encoraged and that throw away items will give them continued patronage and work round the year. All states should have committee helped by SHGs and NGOs to lift the living standards of tribes and locals as well.

Bracketing Tribals for just one type of livelihood will not be fair. There should be an institute, which will specifically look for different type of opportunities for tribals, for their livelihood. Their livelihood can be as varied as, say for e.g., coir work, handicrafts, sportspersons, etc. Also we can look out for any type of traditional knowledge they might be having, which can be harnessed for their betterment, e.g. Ayurvedic knowledge. Similarly, they can be trained for adventure tourism.

I welcome all the necessary steps taken by the Government for the Tribal people, But what about those people living on the street of our towns, who have No Adhaar,No Voter ID,No Birth Certificate i.e No identity of themselves, They are the REAL POOR people of our India, with all respect i appeal to the government and people of our country to work on the livelihood opportunities for these people too, as they too are Indian and all above Human Being
