Lack of livelihood opportunities for tribal people is one of the chief causes of their backward status as compared with the other social groups. This issue is aggravated by the high rate of displacements faced by tribal people due to various industrial projects etc., which also causes loss of livelihood for them among other things. This Ministry has been taking various steps for facilitating sustainable livelihood for tribal populations in different sectors. Stress has been given on vocational education and formal technical education for tribal youth. States are being encouraged to take upskill development initiatives for tribal youth with at least 50% of such activities to be oriented for women.

Through MyGov, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs seeks suggestions/information from all sections of the society regarding various livelihood possibilities for tribal people, availability of skilled/unskilled manpower still unemployed, various traditional skills available with the tribal population, new trends and interests among tribal youth, corresponding skilling needs and possibilities etc.

Ihave leaved amongst tribal people in Arunachal Pradesh and Melghat Tiger project while working in Vivekananda Kendra so I know some issues they have to face.. Energy source for domestic cooking is one of these.. The use firewood which damage jungle and smoke damage their health.. So pallets of Napier grass is good option.

Cultivation of Napier grass(. Hahti ghass) in dry forest will helpful as it yields more in less water. Can be used as food for cattle and the pallets can be used as energy source in domestic cooking. I have discussed this when I was in Melghat Tiger Project with the forest official. The were using some methods like supplying lpg gass which were useless in that scenario. So did I suggested this method to them.

I seriously believe that machines and demand can change the world for them.Most of the things are handmade and if we can do the same thing by machines that are battery operated and easy to use simultaneously create awareness towards the natural product and its benefit over what is used in cities it will do wonders.Most are not even Aware of what they are making and their uses.Simple effective steps shall do wonders.

1. We should start educating,Not only education for literacy but also vocational training Like Hand looms,Crafts,Bee plantation, Medicinal plantations etc. 2. Seeing is believing and We should arrange tour programs and exposure visit especially for those tribal who are interested in taking leads amongst them. 3. Promote tribal for Sports especially like Archery, Athletics, Hockey, Kabbadi, Wrestling 4. Most Important thing is we need to change our attitude and not tribal's attitude.

for taking suggestion from the indian nationals it is good for govt.making policy, tribal people knows many medicinal uses of plant and animal origin products. we can emphasis on the medicinal uses of that products those are claims from the tribal people for the disease remedies. so that Indian people will know the ethnobotanical or ethnozoological practices of the plant and animals products.

The Micro finance facility for tribal poor has to be strengthener,its only possible with 100% birth and death registration and bio-metric ID proofs so that cheats local frauds cant cheat them,and they themselves can innovate business opportunities if given this facility.

in India Lot of people go around for tourism and will find all the shops selling Tribal products at high rates because they were only available with them. My suggestion is to Government to build a shopping malls and rent out or lease to Direct tribal to sell their product with out a middle man. as a SCM professional observed there is always a Demand for tribal products but not reaching to the public due to poor penetration into local markets.example Cashew from forest goes to every house.

Introduce, agro tourism in tribal villages, and village foods such as pickels, wild fruits, and other village cuisines should be promoted, tribal culture( art ,craft, dance & music) should be promoted. Tourist spots should be identified & developed which will become a good source of revenue for govt & will be a source of livelyhood for the tribals, so necessary trainings should be imparted to the tribals to go ahead .

But, one of the main reasons people litter is less number of dustbins. We don't have to imitate what Western countries are doing by keeping plastic dustbins at every corner of the street. But instead why don't we use bins made out of palm leaves. Thereby we can provide employment to people in village and keep our homeland clean. And we have more than enough coconut trees in our country. It will be a "Make In India" initiative.
