living patterns and their proximity to nature is evident.They are unique in the diversity of their physique, attire, dialects, singing,dancing, custom and culture.Many approaches and strategies for the welfare and development of scheduled tribes have been taken in the post-independence era with a profound comprehension of the complexity of tribal integration. Thought
was spiralled for non-intervention in their ethnic and primordial structures.The theory of ‘Panchasheel’ i.e. five principles for approach to tribal society,was proposed. The major contention in this theory was that the state should not ‘impose’ anything on tribals. They should flourish their own genius (primodality). They have their own culture. ‘Social change should not mean culture change’.“There are generally two ways of approaching the problem of the tribal people. One might be called the anthropological approach of treating these people as museum specimens to be observed and Written about and not as living human beings with whom one could work and play. The other approach is of rather ignoring that they are something special and different and trying to absorb them into normal pattern of society elsewhere. Both
these approaches are wrong.... We must give them a measure of protection in their areas so that no outsider can interfere with them except with their consent and goodwill”. The approach of Dr. Chidatmika Khatua is a turning point in the approach of tribal transformation. Women are the nucleus of a tribal families. They steer the tribal life in a intimate path of living. She has researched on 30 types of tribal communities and studied about their cultural priorities. As the world examines the achievements and challenges towards eradicating tribal problems. Over the last 20-25 years, the tribal community has been incessantly trying to draw the attention of the world’s leading power blocks to save them from perennial miseries. The need for tribal development in India hardly needs any justification. Their primitive way of life, economic and social backwardness, low level
of literacy, the hackneyed system of production, absence of value system, sparse physical infrastructure in backward tribal areas and demographic quality of tribal areas coupled together make it imperative for a systematic process of development of tribes and tribal areas. It is argued that the indigenous people are among the poorest of the poor. They suffer from extreme discrimination and lead a life of misery and destitution. The development discourse, therefore, needs to concentrate on finding an effective strategy to mitigate these crises. It is ironic that the poorest people of India are living in the areas of the richest natural resources.Many of the tribes with their forest-dwelling culture do not have the motivation or the skill of settled cultivation. As a result, their land has been alienated to their better-endowed tribal neighbors or non-tribal’s. Many of the problems are rooted in their increasing attachment to the dominant culture and lack of basic competence in education.One of the major solutions, we presented for dealing effectively with the tribal problems are Assimilation. Assimilation is one of the ways of dealing with tribal problems. Thus,
according to this approach, we cannot deal with tribal problems on the basis of tribal culture and life but by changing them into the frame of the new community. According to this solution advocated by the social reformers and voluntary organizations, assisting and encouraging the tribals to assimilate them with the mainstream of national life, can alone permanently solve the tribal problems. Thus, emerged a novel approach of focusing on the supreme beauty. platforms, portraying the daughters of the soil in their natural distinctiveness. 2018 was the year of contention to challenge the modernity, extravaganza and pointing on the beauty of the most vital creation of mother nature, ‘ The
