Language | ENG |
Author | Mallick, Md. Ayub |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | Protective policies are essential for individual development and group mobility. Positive discriminatory efforts seek to reduce group inequalities and to rectify the consequences of group discrimination. Reservations in the fields of politics, education and employment aimed at protecting tribal culture and tradition have achieved strikingly little. Protection of land and life support system has been poorly implemented. There have been no marked improvements in their social conditions. Planned intervention has not improved the occupational and educational levels of tribals. Non-tribals do not treat them equally. Apart from developing entrepreneurship, follow-up action in providing developmental benefits to tribals should be made. The single-stroke formula of providing loans and facilities is unsuited to the development needs of the area. Social capital formation is needed to ensure justice, or to provide socio-economic justice, which was traditionally present in the tribal economy and society. |
