Tribal development has been conceived as an approach that keeps tribal people at the centre stage. Tribal people are scattered all over the India. They have their own culture and traditions. However, they are still faced with numerous problems that hamper their progress and development such as, poverty, educational problems, land problems, health problems, naxalism, exploitation of children, inefficient administration and Governance which are analysed through this paper. This paper analyses a number of measures that have been suggested and implemented by the Government, such as, Constitutional Provisions and Safeguards, Educational Facilities, Tribe’s Advisory Council, Representation in Legislatures and Panchayats, Commission for the Scheduled Tribes, Reservation in jobs, Economic Opportunities, Administration of Scheduled and Tribal Areas, Establishment of Welfare Department in States and Tribal Research Institute. This Article discusses how the socioeconomic status of the tribals of India should improve substantially in order to bring about a positive transformation of the Indian society and nation.
