520 _aTribal societies differ in their culture, lifestyle and economic status. The level of socio economic development depends upon their resource base, technology and degree of isolation. While some of the tribal communities have developed better by taking advantage of the development and empowerment programmes of the State, a number of them have lagged far behind due to various reasons. Such disadvantaged tribal groups deserve special attention of the State and the society. This book is focused on these destitute tribal communities who have remained backward and continue to face problems and predicaments, which they cannot overcome without State intervention. Six destitute tribal communities, namely the primitive tribes of Kharias and Mankidias, the ex-criminal tribes of Lodhas, the tribal children, the tribal women, the tribal people displaced by mega projects and the tribal families living below poverty line in Mayurbhanj, Orissa have been identified for the special study. The hopes and aspirations, perceptions and experiences, fears and anxieties of these destitute tribal communities have been captured as close to reality as possible in the pages of this book. Development and empowerment of these groups must be ensured urgently. The book contains recommendations suggested at the end of each chapter aimed at improving the condition of these most vulnerable tribal groups for consideration of the policy makers, academicians and administrators engaged in the task of ushering in a stable social order.
