The volume addresses the conceptual, theoretical and substantive issues related to livelihood, education, health and displacement of tribal people in the north central sub-region of India. The tribal people are not only extremely marginalised in the area of education and health but also do not have easy access to these. The infrastructure pertaining to these specific spheres in this sub-region is extremely dismal and the inequality in this sphere vis-a-vis the general population is too stark. Alternate models of education and health have been suggested to promote equity. The volume discusses how the tribal people have suffered more than any other group from displacement caused on account of acquisition of their land and how the dispossession from their land combined with the dismal record of their rehabilitation has led to disintegration of tribal society, loss of identity and economic impoverishment. The volume also discusses the nature of environment degradation in tribal areas and the social injustice caused to the tribal people on account of it. The failure of a regulatory mechanism to protect the environment and apathy of democratic institutions to take up the grievances of tribal people in this regard worsens their plight. Finally, the volume critically examines the development policies and programmes for the tribal people with special comments on the Draft National Policy ISBN 9788122007985
