Abstract
The tribal group forms an important and sizeable segment of Indian population constituting 30 millions. The tribal groups vary in terms of race, religion, culture, languages and economic conditions. The tribal population of India can be divided into three different groups, namely, tribes of north east region, tribal pockets of southern India, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the tribes living in the belt which runs from Orissa to Gujarat.
