Adivasis at bottom rung of India’s development pyramid, finds Tribal Development Report 2022 -Shuchita Jha

-Down to Earth

India’s tribal communities have been pushed away from alluvial plains and fertile river basins, into the harshest ecological regions, the report notes  

India’s tribal communities form 8.6 per cent of the country’s population according to the 2011 Census. But they are at the bottom of the country’s development pyramid even after 75 years of independence, according to a new report released November 28, 2022.

The Tribal Development Report 2022, launched by the Bharat Rural Livelihood Foundation (BRLF) in two volumes, claims to be the first of its kind since 1947.

The report focuses on the status of tribal communities at an all-India level and central India in particular, concerning livelihoods, agriculture, natural resources, economy, migration, governance, human development, gender, health, education, art, and culture. Central India is home to 80% of the tribal communities in the country.

The authors of the report discussed their papers and findings during a two-day event at the India International Centre.

Damning findings

The BRLF was set up the Union Cabinet September 3, 2013 as an independent society under the Union Ministry of Rural Development to scale up civil society action in partnership with central and state governments.

Prathamesh Ambasta, chief executive of the BRLF, said:

If we look at any issue, be it of sanitation, education, nutrition, access to drinking water and education, we will see that despite 70 years of independence, Adivasis are the most deprived. This makes it important to focus on the challenges that Adivasis face.

Promod Boro the chief executive member of Bodoland Territorial Council, Assam, said November 29 that it is important to understand the special characteristics of tribal communities to frame policies for them.
