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.

We can link tribal produce to tourism.When people visit a particular place there can be provisions made to let them see how the product is being made and they can buy it. With e-commerce growing we can have the tribal produce shipped even to other countries.

Even if the tribal people produce - how do they sell and to whom? I think the postal department can come into play in this sector in a big way. They already have a network presences in almost all remote areas of the country, the need is to develop a good e-commerce chain and get people from all over the country and abroad buy products like handlloom, handicrafts, tribal arts, etc produced by the tribal people of India. They can also tie-up existing e-retailer like flipkart,amazon, etc for orders

co-operative farming must be explored by Ministry of Tribal Affairs and a scheme for this could be an option for scaled transformation of tribal population.

Its important to look the proper implementation of continuing schemes & programmes related to livelihood of tribal people. Check & major system to be more strong. Public grievance mechanism is most important on this regard. Every citizen/complainant should get reply of action within a fixed time frame. It will checkmate the implementation process towards grand success.
