Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
There are evidences that Scheduled Castes SCs and Scheduled Tribes STs are backward in India. In the era of inclusive development, it is important to develop all the social groups equally. This study is conducted in order to investigate spatial pattern of socio economic conditions of SCs and STs and deprivation of SCs and STs in West Bengal. In this regard, three objectives have been set. Firstly, to study regional pattern of socio economic status among Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in West Bengal. Secondly, to find causative factors for backwardness among SCs and STs. Thirdly, to suggest remedial measures for emancipation of backwardness in the state. Firstly, a simple percentage method is adopted to study regional pattern in socio economic condition among SCs and STs and their backwardness as well. In addition, a number of figures and tables are used for depiction of the same. Secondly, a Composite Index is constructed to explore socio economic development pattern of SCs and STs in the districts of W.B. Thirdly, the reasons are revealed from existing literature concerning regional inequality and socio economic backwardness among SCs and STs in West Bengal. Lastly, a number of suggestions are made for equal regional development and equal socio economic development of SCs and STs comparing with overall population. The finding shows regional inequality in socio economic development of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe in districts of West Bengal. Here the districts of Kolkata, Haora, Nadia, North Twenty Four Parganas and Darjiling are highly developed. On the other hand, SCs and STs are under developed in the districts of Malda, Puruliya. Moreover, SCs and STs are socio economically backward than overall population. Poverty, illiteracy and geographical proximity are revealed factors for deprivation of SCs and STs and regional inequality in their development.
