Aims and Objectives
The ST Welfare Wing exists to provide more focused approach on the integrated socio-economic and spiritual development of the Scheduled Tribes (STs), one of the most underprivileged of the Indian Society, in a coordinated and planned manner. There are several aspects that needs to be understood to achieve this. A synopsis study of the main problems that Indian Tribals face will help to think clearly about them and about their issues with a little clearer understanding.
The main problems the tribals face are:
- They possess small and uneconomical landholdings because of which their crop yield is less and hence they remain chronically indebted.
- Only a small percentage of the population participates in occupational activities in the secondary and tertiary sectors.
