Lack of livelihood opportunities for tribal people is one of the chief causes of their backward status as compared with the other social groups. This issue is aggravated by the high rate of displacements faced by tribal people due to various industrial projects etc., which also causes loss of livelihood for them among other things. This Ministry has been taking various steps for facilitating sustainable livelihood for tribal populations in different sectors. Stress has been given on vocational education and formal technical education for tribal youth. States are being encouraged to take upskill development initiatives for tribal youth with at least 50% of such activities to be oriented for women.

Through MyGov, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs seeks suggestions/information from all sections of the society regarding various livelihood possibilities for tribal people, availability of skilled/unskilled manpower still unemployed, various traditional skills available with the tribal population, new trends and interests among tribal youth, corresponding skilling needs and possibilities etc.

Easiest way is to engage them and involve them in Tourism activities in their areas.Instead of spending on changing them we should change our concept of including tribals in our development programme. This is possible.

Tribal people are the original and ancient dwellers of this Indian sub-continent. They still resides in or near the jungles of India or other countries in this subcontinent. The development of these tribal peoples can only be done in accordance to their lifestyles related to the jungles. The tribal people may be given free access to use and protect the resources in the jungle.

Japan Government allowed city residents to divert a proportion of their income-tax payments to a hometown of their choice. The response has been overwhelming and rural towns earned $1.2 billion a year from such tax contributions. Many select towns that were devastated by the tsunami. Many towns suffering financially due to ageing and shrinking populations began cultivating rice again. Instead of reviving the countryside with large-scale public works, the scheme does not involve big projects.

Bee keeping and making honey - it is a tough job which has been made simple by technology. Rural people can help manage bees which are crucial for agriculture. In return they collect honey - a great nutritional treat. It may be possible to design a hive that is maintenance free.

Tribal people can collect organic manure and transfer to farmers for organinc based agriculture. Government can facilitate this process so that they get livelihood and also their support is used more effectively. Organic manure can be planned throughout India so that we can meet healthy India objective. Since health challenges are most challenging and intolerable.

Tribal people are the treasure of our nation in true sense as they hold the direct lineage of traditional knowledge that our ancestors had. it would be a mistake to count them weak and backward. they just need to be organised and directed towards a particular thing. while others prepare stuff for entertainment of household requirements, others can start they gobar gas plants, bio-sorption of wastes (indirectly making manure-which can be sold to benefit them rather than selling pesticides), etc.
