The heterogeneous communities of India that occupy a special position under the banner of scheduled tribes are a vulnerable group of people with their unique socio-economic and cultural diversities that which is now gradually being extinct due to multiple interlinked reasons, the most important one being economic insufficiency. To meet the daily requirements and to keep abreast with modernity, the socio economic acculturation with the outside world has largely left them unattended as Diasporas in between the middle of inequality, degradation and in turn frustrations. This has largely affected the status and position of the women folk of the scheduled tribe families often leading to a complete new dimension which is very much scary and dangerous if left unattended for long. The very essence of freedom, equality and the right to live with dignity sound alien to the tribal people of the rural areas of the country. In such a situation, alongside the state, there are multiple Non Governmental Organizations that work for the development and empowerment of the scheduled tribes .The Dooars region of West Bengal that falls to the northern part of the state is a home to many scheduled tribe communities, the status of which does not appear to be rosy even in this age. The researcher tries to make a serious attempt to study and question the role of the NGOs working in the area on the overall development and empowerment of the scheduled tribes
