About The Book:
The Scheduled Tribe groups who were identified as more backward
communities among the tribal population groups have been categorised as
'Primitive Tribal Groups' (PTGs) by the Government at the Centre in
1975. So far seventy-five tribal communities have been identified as
'primitive tribal groups' in different States of India. These hunting,
food- gathering, and some agricultural communities, who have been
identified as more backward communities among the tribal population
groups need special programmes for their sustainable development. The
primitive tribes are awakening and demanding their rights for special
reservation quota for them.
The thirty articles presented in this volume give an idea about the
situation prevailing among the primitive tribes in India. The majority
of the primitive tribal population groups in India are in perpetual
poverty and stands much below the poverty line, suffering from an
alarming malnutrition and high illiteracy. The government must take
initiative more seriously, sincerely, and effectively to create
sustainable development programmes among them.
