The objective behind the publication of a popular series of booklets on the various tribal communities is to make known their particular socio-economic characteristics and cultural profiles to the general public. These booklets are meant for those who are not very well informed about the Scheduled Tribes but are keen on knowing about such communities. Keeping such a target group in view, it was felt that the ethnographic and developmental accounts of these tribes should be presented in such a manner as would create and sustain interest in the readers without being too scholastic or technical. Demographically, some tribal communities are very large and some, very small. In the matter of development also, there are large variations some of them are quite progressive while a few small communities are still at a primitive stage. These booklets would cover both the numerically large groups as well as the small communities which are presently recognised as primitive tribes.
