Abstract
The tribal people of India are a part and parcel of the Indian population and represent a true synthesis of Indian culture. The original tribes in India have been divided and sub-divided into large number of sub tribes. They are mutually exclusive each having the endogenous and exogamous clan with their own name and culture, customs, rituals, practice and lifestyle. Because of multiple factors like poverty, illiteracy, bad sanitary conditions , malnutrition, poor maternal and child health services ,unavailability of health and nutritional services ,superstition and deforestation their health status too is in an awful condition. In the field of education and infrastructure facilities, these PVTGs lag far behind than the other scheduled tribes.
