"The discourse on tribal development, unlike the mainstream development paradigm with an emphasis on 'economic growth', argues for a holistic, and humane approach, taking into consideration social, cultural, economic, spiritual, political, environmental, and human rights dimensions. The two-pronged strategy for tribal development protection from exploitation and assistance in their progress has not shown adequate success even after 76 years of India's Independence. It is high time that we revisit the approach to tribal development for an inclusive and sustainable development."
