Decoding Tribal Development

Decoding Tribal Development seeks to study the development approaches and policy programmes for the heterogenous scheduled tribe communities of India from the lenses of self-reliant models. The book urges the policy framers to look into the subject from participatory dimensions thereby suggesting alternative approaches towards tribal development that would aid in bringing about the desired results through the collaborative efforts of the three agencies of development. The role of the Non- Governmental Organizations has been given special attention to in acting as a catalytic agency of development and also in incorporating and training the beneficiaries to transform into the agencies of development in the long run. The book shall be of immense help to research scholars, academicians and policy framers and bureaucrats in understanding Tribal Development from different perspectives.
