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.

पूर्वज हमेशां से कहते आये है, जिसके हाथों में हुनर हो वो कभी भूखा नही मरता | हाथों में अगर हुनर आ जाये तो थाली में रोटी अपने आप आ जाएगी |

Encourage NGOs to sell the products manufactured by tribal people. Improve logistics. Engage micro finance fecililities like www.rangde.org Exhume their enterprising quality. Encourage popular online shopping portals to market and support logistics to tribal areas. Ensure CSR spending/ investment by corporates to support local business and craft workshops for example

Develop bio gas rich grass / plants. This can be used as raw material to community bio gas plant. The bio gas is utilized for cooking and illumination needs of community. The use of wood for cooking food reduces. The nation gets better green cover. Thank you.

Govt should think innovatively because now-a-days because of the hifi living nature, people got used to mall culture. Govt should construct shopping complexes or Malls and should allow these local and tribal people to business in these malls. No mediators, No cheating, price and business decided by the owner of the product. If this can be implemented, i think India can truly gain its riches back.

Kanpur is situated on the bank of the Ganges River and has been an important place in the history of modern India. Kanpur was one of the main centers of industrial revolution in India. It was known as Manchester of the East. Towards the end of 19th century, Sir John Burney Allens established a group of companies such as Kanpur Textiles, Cawnpore Woollen Mills (Lal-imli), Flex Shoes Company, Elgin Mills and North Tannery under the banner of British India Corporation having headquarters at Kanpur.

When we speak about livelyhood of the tribals, the life would have been very easy for them, if we had proper irrigation facilities to grow all sorts of fruits, vegetables and flowers. They would have been dependent only to a minimum percentage with the outside world. But unfortunately not much has been done since dacades for them. Its really good platform now to help and support with good ideas for Tribal. Cheers!!!

Before we step to help the tribals, it is very important to provide the basic facilites and amenities to all the people Like Hygenic Food, Clean drinking water, Electricity, Communication through mobile.. and out of this most importantly the roads to reach them.

Khadi GramUdyog faltered in the manner it was promoted. And in spite of being Societal marketing case study, it became a high class goods procurer/ seller. 1. I think this needs to be merged with the ministry of textiles, ministry of labour and ministry of handicrafts. 2. Give clear defined targets to each ministry and tasking needs to be time bound. 3. Add the societal angle to it. This is a must to make this fly. Every money a consumer spends, 25% goes to the Jan Dhan account of poor.
