Summary: The Centre for the Study of Regional Development of the Jawaharlal Nehru University has, since its establishment in 1971, a deep commitment to the study of the deprived and the under-privileged. As the de, tivation of the tribal peoples of the country is intrinisically woven into the fabric of persisteent under development, an analysis of the ecological and socio-economic attributes of their life may be considered to be a crucial input in the interpretation of the contemporary social reality of India. It is, therefore, not surprising that the geography of the Indian tribes has been one of the important focii of curricular as well as the research activity of the Centre. The undersigned were the initiators of this tradition since the incep tion of the Centre and have tended it with some care for well over a decade and a half. Quite a few of our students caught the contagion, transcended the boundaries of the trendy and yet spurious radicalism of the campus and developed a commitment to the study of the deprived which was not an escape from but an aid to scholarship. Asoka, who is no more, was the first of these. Let it be put on record that her study of the Justering and concentration of tribal population was the first dissertation to be submitted to the Jawaharlal Nehru University for the award of the M.Phil degree. The present work is a response to the need for an authentic aid to researchers who are engaged in the examination of the regional dimension of the tribal phenomenon in India. It became possible on the basis of painstaking and sustained research effort spread over a number of years. It is hoped that the spatial patterns of tribal distribution and some of its corelates having been inden tified and preliminary explorations having been made in the search for explanatory models, the ground would have been cleared for deeper probes into the human condition in tribal India. In addition to an introductory chapter, this volume is divided into eight sections as under: A. Spatial Distribution and Region Formation B. Ecological Setting C. Rural-Urban Composition D. Sex Ratio and Marital Status E. Cultural Aspects. F. Literacy G. Participation in Economic Activity H. Structure of Workforce
