About the Book:
This book presents a comprehensive study of the nature and dynamics of tribal economy in India, exploring its interaction with institutional interventions, civil society initiatives, and various macro-micro factors. It highlights the functional and dysfunctional implications of the changing tribal economic patterns on the physical and social quality of life of tribal communities.

The work also identifies priority areas for teaching and research on tribal issues and provides a blueprint for comprehensive and sustainable tribal economic development in the era of globalization, where interactions between tribal and external economies have intensified. This makes the book highly valuable for students of Sociology, Social Anthropology, and Social Work, as well as for planners, policy makers, NGOs, PRIs, and change agents working on tribal development.
