The isolated location of the tribes from the main stream of life is hindering their all activities. Due to illiteracy among tribes, the money lenders and small traders to exploit them. In our study 75 per cent of the households were in the age group of 25 to 55 and majority of the heads of households (50%) are in the age group of 35 to 55 years. The sex-wise distribution of total family members of the selected households revealed that total female are relatively higher than total male. 55 percent of the households are living in their own houses and majority of them are living in thatched houses. The socio- economic life of the households in the study area is much influenced by agricultural sector, among the selected households marginal farms and small farms are around 80 percent and the remaining are medium and large farms.
