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.

First and foremost, Let them live they way they want to live. It is very wrong to think everyone should live like westerners live. Tribal people have great culture and special knowledges.Let them live where they want to. If they want to live in cities, let them. Let choice be theirs. They had great past, they had ayurvedic knowledge. They have special skills. Let us learn these from them working with them. We think city like life is the best. That is our foolishness. We don't see the other side

Sir, in a short visit to a tribal area I came to understand tht in a settlement which had 2 different classes of tribes only one were given a specific benefit of food under govt scheme ,this sort of uneven distribution cause discontent . Kindly see to it tht instead of a specific class a whole locality is brought under such scheme..

Our Honorable Prime Minister likes organic agri foods. as such what about organic river fish. In hilly tribal areas, many small streams and rivers runs. What about constructing dam and generate 3-in-1. if dam is constructed, tribal rural people will generate income by selling fresh river fish, the same dam will generate power for cfl bulbs, the same dam over flow water will be used for irrigation purpose.

not much infrastructure is available in tribal areas, what is available is agriculture, cloth, handiwork, etc. focus on these areas is essential. by teaching tribes on how to grow crops will help them in sustaining life force. by helping them weave their own cloth will help them to cover themselves. by focusing on handiwork they will be able to get better prices in local market and hence feed themselves better. by providing with better infrastructure, subsequent increase in livelihood opportunit
