Abstract

Chhattisgarh has a tribal population of 32.45 percent (Census of India, 2011) [1]. Tribals are concentrated over nearly 65 percent of the state's area, and this area covers seven districts entirely and another six districts partly. The state is home to several tribes small, large and even those nearing extinction in numbers and it presents among the most challenging scenarios for human development anywhere in the country. Despite all, the Scheduled tribes, for ages, have been victims of socio-economic exploitation and have been relegated to low-income generating occupations, inferior trades, unhealthy environments, and unclean unskilled occupations and the majority of Scheduled Tribes continue to show socio-economic backwardness while the goals of tribal development have been pursued within the broad framework of overall development. With the above background the objective of the study is to find out the status of the implementation objects of government and the acceptance status of local tribal people towards tribal development programs regarding literacy, educational status, health, women's status cultural protection norms, etc. for this purpose both qualitative and quantitative research methods had been followed. The result shows that there is improvement in acceptance of the tribal development program but there is still lacking a strong bridge between the tribal development program and the tribal people of Bastar.
