Abstract :
Scheduled Tribal population belongs to
socially weaker section of the society and they living in
isolation from forward caste. They had poor living
conditions. Even when majority of the communities in
the world kept changing their life-styles, there are
communities still living in line with their traditional
values, customs and believes. Several factors have been
identified for the slow progress of such groups. They are
living under social and cultural backwardness, poor
economic conditions, lack of education, and deficiency in
infrastructural facilities, poor employment
opportunities, and attitudes of main population towards
men and so on. Rehabilitation plans in Kerala promised
each eligible family that moved onto the farm a title deed
of one acre land along with other facility which includes
basic facility like drinking water, road, transportation,
school, electricity and houses. Tribal communities are
vulnerable even today not because they are poor,
illiterate, asset less as compared to the general public but
their vulnerability arises from their inability to cope and
negotiate with the general public or with the mainstream
economy society, culture and political system. The major
significance of the study is to understand how the
Government had rehabilitated the tribes and protect
their rights and also provided efficient enmities to the
tribe. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the
demographic and socio-economic characteristics of
rehabilitated tribal population. To understand the
challenges faced by the rehabilitated tribes.
