Introduction to Rural and Tribal Communities in India - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

The earliest human communities were perhaps the loosely organised aggregations of a few facilities that carried on mutually interdependent activities in gathering food and defending themselves against their enemies. Gradually man acquired skills and knowledge in agriculture food and begin to live settled life in villages. It is difficult to define villages but generally it is understood as a small area with a small population which follows agriculture not only as an occupation but also as a way of life. The dwellers of rural community have a sense of unity. The relation between the people is intimate. They personally know each other customs and traditions. Non-farm sector constitute the bulk of poor rural people. Of these, women and tribal communities are the most disadvantaged. Young people in rural areas are forced to migrate without having the skills required by India’s rapidly-modernizing economy. Poverty is deepest among scheduled castes and tribes in rural areas. This comprehensive book highlights the rural and tribal populations who are widely dispersed and subjected to very similar inimical processes that led to their destitution. Students, social workers and policy makers will find this book informative and useful in their study and work.
