ABSTRACT

The tribal economy is a forest-based economy. Tribals traditionally live within self-sufficient subsistence economy that depends on natural resources. Tribal’s have relatively little exposure to the economy outside their region, many forest products are used one way or the other in the rites and ritual of the tribal’s.1 Tribal people are traditional forest dwellers and they consider the forests as their nourishing mother who supplies them with food, fuel and fodder.2 Almost 90 percent of the tribal’s still live in the forest tracts. As forest dwellers, their life support system has been intricately linked with the forest in the forms of ‘anna’, ‘aarogya’ and ‘aasra’ (food, well-being and security), the basis of their symbiotic relationship and their physical and cultural survival.3 The income difference between different tribes may arise due to the types of occupation opportunities they have in their areas.4 The tribal economy was based on subsistence agriculture and/ or hunting and gathering.5
