The study is an attempt made by the author for illuminating an unexplored area in the field of tribal development in a backward region of India.
The book deals with multi-dimensional aspects of tribals of India i.e., Socio-Cultural aspects, Agricultural practices (both settled and shifting cultivation), Forest policy, non-agricultural practices including the problems of develop ment of cottage and small scale industries, regionalisation through the application of Kondall's Principal Component Analysis and application of regional planning technique-a new dimension of tribal development.
The approach made in this book is a pioneering endeavor and marks a department from the tradition bound analysis. It is a rare mixture of sectoral analyses with regional approach.
