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.

Thanking Government for adding into list of tribal and forest dwellers to collect various natural forest resources and maintaining their source of livelihood. Various top juice, pulp, food product makers in India or worldwide can benefit by tribal and other communities strong helping hand into selected cultivation of produce in these forest areas, making their livelihood jump few folds. One can be making 4500Kcal (Min) fire fuel from waste, extract of certain trees to oil and ethanol base, etc.

My suggestion is just give them proper pakka roads which will connect to cities with ease. Provide them with good trsnsport facilities like govt buses frequently atleast thrice a day and also give them electricity and little funds for shelter.. rest other things they will fo themselves.. just connect them to the nearest towns or cities with low bus fares..

Tribal people are a rich source of indigenous and traditional knowledge in plants and traditional medicines. We must harness this by creating touch points where they become consultants for sharing this knowledge.
