Abstract
This paper is based on a study on the survival and livelihood challenges
of Hill-Kharia and Mankadia tribes (PVTGs) and the impact of welfare schemes
in their life in Jashipur and Karanjia blocks of Mayurbhanj district of Odisha.
The paper reveals that education beyond primary level among these PVTGs is
almost absent and their health status is poor, which together, make them
vulnerable. These two tribal groups lack basic infrastructural facilities such
schools, hospitals, roader, banks, electricity, proper drinking water,
communication and transportation. Majority of them are in primitive stage of
life, without having a proper house and largely depend upon on forest produce
and manual labour for their survival. They spend very less on education and
health. Besides, alcohol addiction is the main reason for their poor health and
economic condition. The tribal welfare programmers could not achieve the
desired results in the life of the Hill-Kharia and Mankadia and many of them are
at the bottom of the human development index.
