Tribal development forms the foundation for the economic growth of a nation which carries with it a substantial portion of the tribal population. Supporting the native tradition is the key to building a strong community and a healthy economy. With 8% of the population of India belonging to the Scheduled Tribe it becomes critical for the government to safeguard their interest and promote their livelihood. TRIFED the Government of India established organization, supported by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs has been a security net for the tribes across the nation for over 30 years now. It has taken several initiatives for socio-economic welfare and empowerment of tribal communities through capability building, marketing, distribution, packaging, and other supporting activities.

Inhabiting the remotest parts of the country and being reserved, poses several problems for the community as well as the government in assisting their growth

• Dwelling in the Natural Habitat they carry a wealth of knowledge in plants, forest produces as well as ancient herbs, which is tantamount to that of an expert. With efficient support, this can be developed further to generate significant income for the community
• There has been an increase in the rate of unemployment among schedule tribes in the past few years owing to the lack of connection to the mainstream market
• Despite having been given reservations by the central government, residing in rural areas have posed difficulty for them in making the most of the benefits offered
• Members of the tribal community have made noteworthy contributions to the nation right from our struggle for freedom to the field of Healthcare, Education, and Technology. This shows that the community holds the potential to thrive under proper guidance

Taking the aforesaid points into consideration, TRIFED has committed itself to ensuring the all-around welfare of the Indian tribes. This is not limited to just inculcating entrepreneurial skills among them or having built an exclusive brand “Tribes India” for them but extends to establishing Van DhanKendras, providing awareness about vaccination for Covid, providing vocational training, and organizing Trade Fairs on a massive scale. The recent decision to observe the 15th November-the birth anniversary of tribal icon BirsaMunda as “Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas” is praiseworthy and TRIFED would unveil The National Tribal Festival “Aadi Mahotsav” on the following day to commemorate it. This festival is not only a platform for the tribal artisans to showcase their valuable skills but the revenue that it generates for the community is of utmost significance.

TRIFED under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi has been constantly pushing and coming up with reformed measures to realize the mission of Atmanirbhar Bharat by improving the quality of tribal produce, providing technological up-gradation, assisting in research & development and is now keen to see the suggestions of field experts, students, business leaders, social activists, subject-matter experts and all the contributors to this field in order to expedite its mission of economic development of Tribals.

As we mark the 75th year of India’s Independence we want you to have a greater stake in revolutionizing the tribal economy.

The last date to share your ideas and suggestions is 30th June, 2022

Appropriate exhibitions at regional levels and media propaganda will be a great help. Special certificates, points, batches, to the promoters will be an advantage

Tribal society today is struggling for progress. Children in this society dream of higher education, better employment. They need the support of government agencies. A review of today's World Tribal Day. Since the tribal community lives in such a remote hilly region, it cannot be said that education, especially in the tribal development department, has reached the grassroots. There are over 500 tribal ashram schools in the state. But, the student comes to that place only as a potter. Students come to Nidan Ashram school hoping to get enough food as they are starving at home. But in Ashram schools, students do not get daily necessities. Sexual exploitation of girls is an important and equally serious issue. Therefore, girls get education till Jemtem X. Because, the parents take the girls home out of fear. Since the school is in a remote area, the teacher pays only the salary by negotiating with the authorities. With few exceptions, children's health is neglected.

Dear Modiji, Please stop building dams & coal mines & industries that harm the ecosystem & natural habitat & displace the tribals. Similarly, ban plastics, oil, natural gas etc that harm & pollute the environment. Similarly, it has been found that antibiotics in the sewage that pass through the urine end up changing the chemistry of the natural environment. So proper sewage filtration of such antibiotics is needed. Similarly, textile micro plastics from the laundry in washing machine end up in the oceans through sewage. Like mentioned below, building eco friendly & tribal friendly infrastructure is possible that could help urban & rural communities & help in coexistence of urban, rural & tribal communities along with Mother Nature. For example: Wildfires could also be reduced by ancient tribal practices of carefully burning forests to manage the land. The future may lie in a return to that past where Mankind coexisted with natural habitat without exploiting the natural habitat!

We are importing hugely expensive systems from rich, first-world nations to mitigate natural disasters in India, when often there are indigenous Tribal solutions that would be much more appropriate and easier to maintain. Following are one of the many examples of light-footed ecological practice that Julia Watson has brought together in a new book, Lo-TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism. The TEK stands not for technology, but “traditional ecological knowledge”, the so-called developed world could do well to learn from. City of Kolkata has been treating wastewater everyday through the ancient practices by feeding 700 million liters of sewage to 30,000 tones of fishes produced naturally in the nearby ponds each year for a century! It treats the city’s wastewater, fertilises nearby rice fields, and employs 80,000 fishermen within a cooperative and saves around $22 million each year on modern wastewater plants. The process involves no chemicals & depends on natural ecosystem!

The best way for Tribal Economy is by encouraging the tribes, dwelling in their area, about which they much experience to make goods out of the raw materials they get from their settlement. This would boost the income of the tribal people which would eventually increase the Tribal Economy and would be profitable for the development of Bharat.
