It is widely acknowledged that a large section of the Indian population, especially the tribal communities, have not received the full benefits of development processes. Indeed, it is recognised that the tribal population has been adversely affected by the developmental projects undertaken.The tribal population in India, though a numerically small minority, represents an enormous diversity of groups. The present research paper is an attempt to look into some socio-economic indicators in respect of tribal group of Uttarakhand like their demography, sex ratio, educational status, health, employment and so on.
