F O R E WORD
Among all the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PTGs) identified by the Government
of India, there are as many as 13 PTGs living in remote habitats of Odisha. Living in
relatively isolated area has enabled them to retain their cultural identities yet the remote
locations as well as poor social indicators vis-a-vis other communities mean that
developmental challenges continue in these areas. This needs special attention.

In order to address the problem and up-hold the right to life with dignity of these PTGs, 17
Micro Projects have been set up in various interior pockets of Odisha during different plan
periods. Action Plans have been formulated in successive Plan Periods for socio-
economic up-liftment of the PTGs on priority basis and to preserve their culture. This calls
for creation of a data base on different parameters to cater to the requirement of
forecasting and plan formulation and to help researchers, administrators and all
concerned developers.

Under this backdrop, the effort of SCSTRTI in compiling and preparing this volume is
indeed commendable. Apart from giving details of statistical indicators in different sectors,
the booklet contains pictoral depiction of development works taken up under conservation-
cum-Development plan during the 11th Plan period.

PREFACE
Odisha the home land of the tribals has the pride to have as many as 62 Scheduled Tribe
Communities living in the State. Among them 13 Ethno-cultural Vulnerable Tribal Groups identified
as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PTGs) reside in various parts of hinter land of Odisha.
Each such group constitutes culturally homogeneous segment of the tribal population in the State.
They live in remote mountainous areas, in a state of relative isolation that has helped them to
preserve their cultural habits and identities. Their pace of development has remained slower than
the other tribal communities. Thus they need a special attention for their overall development. The
state has been continuing its efforts to bring them to the main stream and therefore have adopted
effective planned strategies for inclusive development.

With the concept of Tribal Sub Plan (TSP Approach) since the fifth plan, Government have
identified 13 PTGs in different remote pockets of Odisha. During various plan periods 17 Micro
Projects have been established in such areas to carry out all-round development activities for the
vulnerable groups, ensuring proper utilization of funds pumped in by the Centre and invested and
managed by the State.

SCSTRTI has been entrusted with the responsibilities of preparation of a data base and action
plan for the Micro Projects during successive plan periods. For 11th and 12th Five Year Plan,
Conservation-cum-Development Action Plan have been prepared for the socio-economic
upliftment of the PTGs. In order to formulate these action plans, it is felt that a dedicated data
base on various parameters is to be created. Taking this objective into account, SC & ST
Research and Training Institute, Odisha ......in compile and prepare this book which will be of
immense help for researchers, planners, administrators and common readers. We extend our
sincere gratitude to our Commissioner-cum Secretary, ST & SC Dev. Deptt., Govt. of Odisha and
the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Govt. of India, New Delhi for funding the publication of this book.

Introduction
An observation at the status of tribal development across the country indicates the position of
some Tribal Groups as extremely backward. The people of this section who are relatively
isolated and economically backward and are prone to exploitation and deprivation have been
identified as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PTGs) for the purpose of giving special
attention for development. Their habitats are backward with regards to amenities like housing,
communication, drinking water, irrigation, health, education, agriculture and marketing. They
are also adversely affected by the changes that are taking place due to the process of
modernization. PTGs are characterized by pre-agricultural level of technology, remote
located enclaves, and smallness in number, stagnant or diminishing population trend and low
level of literacy. Odisha having the second largest number of tribal population in the entire
country is the home land of 62 different scheduled tribe communities with the distinction of
having 13 PTGs.

Ever since the 5th Five Year Plan during which the concept of PTG was introduced by
Government of India, a number of special development initiatives have been taken up for
these vulnerable section of tribes by the Central and the State Government through 17 Micro
Projects for their all-round development. These initiatives cover programmes like
infrastructure development, agricultural development, improvement in the standard of
education, health and sanitation, provision of safe drinking water, social security, marketing of
their products etc. The main objective is to improve their living standard ensure their survival
and protection of cultural domain. A number of Central and State Government Sponsored
Schemes have been implemented in these Micro Project areas for upliftment of the PTGs.
Although these interventions have been extended for their holistic development to bring them
at par with the mainstream, the achievements are yet to be visible and the process has based
new challenges before the agreement. Therefore from 11th Plan Period (2007-12)
Government of India launched another development initiative termed as “Conservation-cum-
Development Plan” through a five year special plan to enhance the quality of life of PTGs as
well as to conserve their culture and ecosystem.

The SCSTRTI has made a modest attempt to gather basic information on their existence and
with regard to the primary facilities and amenities developed during the course of intensive
interventional process. Till today, there is no single document available incorporating these
information for all the 17 Micro Projects.

This document “Micro Project Profile” has been compiled by the SC & ST Research and
Training Institute by collecting information from different secondary sources. It contains
information in a consolidated form which can .......... be used as a useful reference have been
for Planners, Researchers, Academicians, Social Scientists, Bureaucrats, NGOs and also for
general public.
