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.

Before we speak of livelihood opportunities of the tribal people, it is necessary to understand each tribal ecosystem, in terms of environment and way of life. These will give us the strengths of each ecosystem and opportunities arising from them.
It is also an opportunity for a different education system, which will study and for creation of long term experts and guides, both for ecosystem and locals.

Livelihood opportunities for tribal people making the state do its job of enhancing capabilities is essential. There is an immediate sense in which pragmatic considerations (e.g. making tribal people realise that it is their right to have a doctor at primary health centres) play a useful and important role in mobilising tribal people. This may contribute to strengthening the organised articulation of the fundamental livelihood struggles of tribal people.

There is very big market for handicraft in out country . people staying in hilly and forest are should be imparted training in making wooden articles using bamboo/ normal wood, roots etc. A society should be formed by government initiative to sell the article to tourist places where these goods can be sold. Antique items are likely to fetch good amount to provide good returns to tribal people.

The art and skills of Tribal India is not been marketed well. GOI should take inspiration from something like FAB India to market and commercialize the art of Tribes in India. This will give them a great opportunity to generate money for their livelihood. This should be managed through the Entrepreneur initiative taken by GOI. Through this both will be benefited the tribes as well as the entrepreneurs.

Tribal people have great potential in their traditional skill set. With proper research their skill can be exploited for big mutual benefits. Wrong skill for wrong group will be a disaster.
