An attempt has been made in the present work to evaluate the achievements and failures of community development programmes during the IV and V Five Year Plan periods with particular reference to Palamu, a backward district of Chhotanagpur Plateau. Efforts have been made to highlight the problems of tribal people and through a comparative study of tribal and non-tribal areas, various remedial measures have been suggested for the development of these areas. A deep study has been made about the bureaucratic apathy towards development programmes and the attitudes of the general masses towards development, particularly that of the tribal people, their suspicion of losing their identity due to development etc.
