Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Humanities and Social Science - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The study attempts to understand the key questions pertaining to tribal youth residing in Indian territories. Such questions are: What are the key issues of tribal youths in India? What are the opportunities provided by government of India to solve those issues? And finally what can be done to overcome those issues related to tribal youths? The present study is based on the secondary sources i.e. Census 2011, Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Statistical data of Scheduled Tribes etc. It is true that tribal youths are more vulnerable in comparison to the general population of youths in India. Tribal youth constitute a numerically dominant, potentially resourceful and also adventurous segment of the population. Unlike urban youth who are mostly educated, organize in many forms and have access to facilities and institutions meant for youth services, Tribal youth are mostly illiterate are burdened with the needs of their families, lack of opportunities for organizing them to engage in constructive work and also lack guidance for participation in development activities. Despite being in vulnerable condition, they still have potential to overcome every issue through initiation of adequate intervention programme among them. Therefore, like the other section of the society, the issues of the tribal youths is one of the gravest that the nation is facing today and which need an urgent consideration of policy makers. If excluded this section of the population, it will remain an untapped resource in terms of increasing prosperity of the entire nation.
