BRINING OUT TRANSFORMATION IN SOCIO-CULTURAL ASPECTS OF SCHEDULED TRIBES THROUGH DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMMES - A STUDY

Abstract

Though there exists a multiple strand of  tribal developmental programs  those designed an implementing for empowering  the Indian tribal population,  there have been  braided evidences of material findings that relate to the standards of  tribal life. Hence there is an urgent need to verify these developmental programs in both semantic and scientific methods using empirical applications.  The  legislative mechanism of the state had made strenuous efforts  to uplift the status of tribal people in all the nooks and corners of the country and had achieved  partial success. Inspite of their efforts, the status of  tribal people  is  pathetic  and deplorable and the existing  situation demands immediate attendance. Thus there is every need to evaluate the effectiveness of developmental programs in bringing out transformation in socio-cultural aspects and adoption of modern methods, hence the present research study was conducted on  Scheduled Tribes  in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh.
