IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES ON YANADI TRIBE SUSTAINABILITY IN NELLORE DISTRICT OF ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA

Abstract

In independent India still the tribals have not developed to the extent expected. Tribals are living backward conditions due to lack of awareness about the need for education. Tribals do not have land so they cannot contact with mainstream society for financial needs and for the government provides financial facilities through some welfare schemes. Many of the tribal peoples are living dependent on the facilities provided by the government and even today Yanadi tribes are living a nomadic life without their own house or proper job opportunities. These schemes are very useful for Yanadi tribals to lead an ideal life and to be a part of education, job and employment opportunities. Though these programmes are good but these programmes not able to ensure sustainability of all tribals. With the change in the time Indian government priorities changed. After independence first government focussed on agriculture then industrialisation, later power sector, now we are in the era of digitalization. Similarly, the tribals needs and expectations are changing time to time.  In this context, the present article focusses on “Impact on Government Development Programmes on Yanadi Tribe Sustainability in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh” so as to understand what extent these schemes are successful and to identify any new aids needed by them.
