As the World Bank report says that the healthy is a person who is not only free from all diseases and malnutrition but we can call healthy to those people who are well growing in their physical, mental and social area. That is the reason in human development concept all these categories are added. In India we can see the health of tribal society with concept of human development. In India life style, dietary pattern and social behaviour are prescribed by the deep ischolar_mained traditions these are more pronounced in the tribal areas where outside influences, education and urbanization are minimal (Chatterjee 1993). The health seeking behaviour of the tribal groups is supposed to be highly associated with their beliefs, customs and practices; since majority of the population in these societies are illiterates, poor and lack modern knowledge of health and hygiene (Pandey et al.2000).

Abstract


As the World Bank report says that the healthy is a person who is not only free from all diseases and malnutrition but we can call healthy to those people who are well growing in their physical, mental and social area. That is the reason in human development concept all these categories are added. In India we can see the health of tribal society with concept of human development. In India life style, dietary pattern and social behaviour are prescribed by the deep ischolar_mained traditions these are more pronounced in the tribal areas where outside influences, education and urbanization are minimal (Chatterjee 1993). The health seeking behaviour of the tribal groups is supposed to be highly associated with their beliefs, customs and practices; since majority of the population in these societies are illiterates, poor and lack modern knowledge of health and hygiene (Pandey et al.2000).
