Full Text-PDF Jharkhand Journal of Development and Management Studies XISS, Ranchi, Vol. 17, No.3, September 2019, pp. 8159-8174 DIMENSIONS OF TRIBAL EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT IN JHARKHAND: LINKAGE OF EDUCATIONAL LEVEL AND INDUSTRIAL CATEGORY Vijay Kumar Baraik1 The literacy and education have always been at the central stage of discussion in the process of development of tribal people (Scheduled Tribes or STs) of Jharkhand, since it is directly related to employment and upward mobility in the ladder of socio-economic progress meeting the final goal of well-being. However, there are many contradictions in the State. The most modern establishments of education and employment avenues exist in the State where primitive groups are a reality even today. Though the Census of India 2011 has shown a decline of main workers and a decline of workers from higher educational levels. In the group of cultivators and agricultural labour still major employment migration of youth from the State are reported. There seems to be lack of synergy between education and employment among tribes due to which educated tribal youth have to come back to the primary sectors or take the route of various cities or States to be domestic help or manual labour; and thus education more often fails to manifest its demonstration effects of its benefits. In the above background, this paper examines the situation of tribal education and employment in Jharkhand is the period 2001-2011. In examining the educational status, regional, social and gender disparity, attainments and challenges have been taken into consideration. The association of education with pattern of urbanization, per capita income and levels of development has also been attempted. The study is mainly based on secondary data primarily from the Census of India and other sources. Keywords : Literacy, Tribal Education, Employment, Capabilities, Opportunities, Levels of Development, socio-economic Progress. Introduction and rationale Jharkhand is the 28th State of India carved out of Bihar on 15th November 2000 as a result of prolonged aspirations and struggle. The State has the intermingling population, where people from different ethnic and linguistic origins coexist all over the space. According to the 2011 Census, total population of the State is 32988134, where the share of tribal population is 26.2 per cent. The Scheduled Tribes are one of the prominent social fabrics of the State who give a separate identity to the State. The major concentration of tribal population is in the districts of Khunti, Simdega, Gumla, Pashchimi Singhbhum, 1 Associate Professor of Geography, School of Sciences, IGNOU, New Delhi- 110068. Email: [email protected], mobile: 9968655685 8159 8160 Baraik Lohardaga, Latehar, Dumka, Pakur, Ranchi, and Saraikela- Kharsawan, where roughly 64 per cent of tribal population of Jharkhand resides (Khunti-73.3, Simdega-70.8, Gumla-68.9, Pashchimi Singhbhum-67.3, Lohardaga- 56,9, Latehar- 45.5, Dumka- 43.2, Pakur-42.1, Ranchi-35.8, Saraikela Kharsawan-35.2, Jamtara- 30.4, Sahibganj-26.8, Purbi Singhbhum-28.5, Godda-21.3, Ramgarh- 21.2, Garhwa-15.6, Bokaro-12.4, Deoghar-12.1, Giridih-9.7, Palamu- 9.3, Dhanbad-8.7, Hazaribagh-7.0, Chatra-4.4 and Kodarma-1.0). There has been a decline in the share of tribal population in the last decade. ST population in 1991 was 32.58 per cent, which has continuously been declining and became 26.3 per cent in 2001 and 26.21 per cent in 2011. This decline was observed in the districts of Dumka, Pakur, Ranchi, Saraikela-Kharsawan, Jamtara, Sahebganj, Godda and Deoghar (mostly in the districts of Santhal Parganas). 32 communities have been notified as Scheduled Tribes, out of which nine are identified as Primitive Tribal Groups (PTGs) or Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) (Asur, Birhor, Birajia, Korwa, Parahiya (Baiga), Sabar, Mal Paharia and Souriya Paharia). Numerically the major tribal groups are Santhals, Oraons, Hos, and Mundas. The major languages spoken are Hindi, Sadri/Sadani/Chotanagpuri, Kurukh, Mundari, Ho, Santhali and Kharia. Jharkhand is a region of vast physical and cultural diversity alongwith wide disparity. The region possesses of contradiction in development with coexistence of glaring paradoxical situations. Roughly 40 per cent of the mineral resources of the country are in the State and some of the minerals of the country are found only in Jharkhand. Yet the poverty level is one of the highest among all States in the country. More than 70 per cent main workers are engaged in primary activities and large unemployed population exist despite the presence of well known Asia’s first iron and steel industry, world’s one of the few heavy engineering establishments of that time, India’s automobile giant-Tata Motors, and many other industries with mining activities in the State. Large number of villages remains illiterate (85 villages in 2011 Census) amid most modern educational establishments in the State. Vast potential of manpower and human resources are available but end up wasted due to lack of opportunity. Large area and number of villages are inaccessible and villages are still like cul-de-sac forcing people to live in isolation and considerably behind the rest of the population. Very poor living conditions of the PVTGs are hard realities. The State is characterized with indigenous people and realized due to their longstanding demand for separate State, but aspirations remained to be remote hope. There is a lack of forward and backward bearings (infrastructure without outcome, education without jobs, local resources without employment generation, etc.). Amid this situation, employment Dimensions of Tribal Education and Employment in Jharkhand 8161 in the State for educated tribal youth is a distant dream and thus weakened employability of education exists among them. Stranded tribal youth in considerable number including sizeable educated ones are opting for out migration in search of employment and livelihood despite adverse and often harsh movement/outmigration and working conditions outside the State. In the above background, this paper examines, primarily based on the secondary data, the situation of tribal education and employment in Jharkhand. It also attempts to look into the attainments and challenges in this direction. In doing this, the situation of each tribal community has also been attempted to gauge their educational status and progression towards expanding their capabilities in terms of literacy at micro level. It has various sections viz introduction, objectives, data and methods, literature review, findings and conclusion. Findings includes three major sub-sections: education (literacy, association with pattern of urbanization, per capita income and levels of development; educational deprivation: some explanations and challenges), employment situation, and education and employment. Objectives The objective of this paper is to examine the dimensions tribal education and employment situation in Jharkhand. It also explores the attainments and challenges in education and employment and the association of employment with education. Database and methods The study is primarily based on secondary data from the Census of India and other sources. Simple statistical and cartographic methods have been used for statistical analysis and cartographic data representation in the paper. Literature Review Education is primarily for acquiring knowledge and skill and exploration of truth, self transformation and changing mindset with gradual exposure to knowledge. It is also to get liberated from darkness of ignorance and many evils. However, it is also very important to widen opportunities by up scaling capabilities and have better life through employment and earnings. The first human development report highlights that the human development is a process of enlarging peoples’ choice and education is one of the engines of human development and enhancing capabilities (UNDP, 1990). The report of the 71st Round 8162 Baraik of National Sample Survey says, “The foundation of the society is based on education. It brings economic and social prosperity. One can appositely say, a strong nation can be built by ensuring that each citizen of that nation is educated (NSSO, 2015, p. 1).” Studies also highlight that there is direct linkage of level of education and employment. Dreze and Sen (1995) has highlighted five ways of freedom lead by education along with health- intrinsic importance, instrumental personal roles, instrumental social roles, instrumental process roles and empowerment and distributive roles. Instrumental personal roles say that education along with health help a person in not only being educated and healthy, but also in are important for getting a job and making use of economic opportunities resulting in expansion of freedom. Education is a great driver of social change and upward mobility as well. Income is not the end but is the means to attain other factors of expansion of human capabilities. It is further strengthened by the employment as a means for income and employment opportunities are widened by education. Therefore, it is as important as other factors. “Skilled, healthy and well-educated people are in a better position than others to take their lives into their own hands. They are generally more likely to find employment and earn better wages (HDR, 1990, p. 26).” In tribal regions, after attaining good level of education, if a person has to go back to the avenues where one cannot have better access to other contributing factors (food and nutrition, health services, education, water and sanitation, etc.) resulting in low level stagnation forcing into circular or cumulative causation. It is examined by other studies also (Singh & Ojha, 2019, p. 46). Findings and Discussions: Education (Literacy) The literacy rate among STs in Jharkhand in 1991 was 27.52 per cent where female literacy was 15.41 per cent. All the districts of Santhal Pargana region and Giridih had ST female literacy of less than 10 per cent and it was below 6 per cent in Deoghar and Giridih. In 2001 the ST literacy was 40.7 per cent and the total literacy rate in the State was 53.56 per cent in the State.

Department of Anthropology & Tribal Studies, Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University, Purulia, West Bengal, India. Corresponding author: [email protected] keywords abstract Census data, India, Literacy, The present paper is based entirely on secondary sources of information, mainly drawn Tribal, West Bengal from the 2001 and 2011 Censuses of India and West Bengal. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse the present literacy trends of the ethnic communities of West Bengal, and comparing the data over a decade (2001 – 2011). The difference between male and female has also been focused. The fact remains that a large number of tribal women might have missed educational opportunities at different stages and in order to empower them varieties of skill training programmes have to be designed and organised. Implementation of systematic processes like Information Education Communication (IEC) should be done to educate communities. Introduction The term, tribe, comes from the word ‘tribus’ which in Latin is used to identify a group of persons forming a community and claiming descent from a common ancestor (Fried, 1975). Literacy is an important indicator of development among ethnic communities. According to Census, literacy is defined to be the ability to read and write a simple sentence in one’s own language understanding it; it is in this context that education has to be viewed from a modern perspective.

  • Tribes in India
    SIXTH SEMESTER (HONS) PAPER: DSE3T/ UNIT-I TRIBES IN INDIA Brief History: The tribal population is found in almost all parts of the world. India is one of the two largest concentrations of tribal population. The tribal community constitutes an important part of Indian social structure. Tribes are earliest communities as they are the first settlers. The tribal are said to be the original inhabitants of this land. These groups are still in primitive stage and often referred to as Primitive or Adavasis, Aborigines or Girijans and so on. The tribal population in India, according to 2011 census is 8.6%. At present India has the second largest population in the world next to Africa. Our most of the tribal population is concentrated in the eastern (West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand) and central (Madhya Pradesh, Chhattishgarh, Andhra Pradesh) tribal belt. Among the major tribes, the population of Bhil is about six million followed by the Gond (about 5 million), the Santal (about 4 million), and the Oraon (about 2 million). Tribals are called variously in different countries. For instance, in the United States of America, they are known as ‘Red Indians’, in Australia as ‘Aborigines’, in the European countries as ‘Gypsys’ , in the African and Asian countries as ‘Tribals’. The term ‘tribes’ in the Indian context today are referred as ‘Scheduled Tribes’. These communities are regarded as the earliest among the present inhabitants of India. And it is considered that they have survived here with their unchanging ways of life for centuries. Many of the tribals are still in a primitive stage and far from the impact of modern civilization.

    Love Jihad: Are We Prepared From Our Side To Fight? by M C Behera (Professor of Tribal Studies, Formerly Dean, School of Cultural Studies; Former Director Arunachal Institute of Tribal Studies; Former Director, Center for Distance Education) Of youth problems like unemployment, drug addiction, falling in violence and insurgency, love jihad has emerged as a serious concern. It has diverse implications such as religious, political, social and gender dynamics. Its religious implication suggests that the phenomenon is allegedly an organised Islamic conspiracy by Muslim men in targeting non- Muslim, particularly Hindu women in India and thereby converting them to Islam. The incident is believed to be, as is reported by Sunny Hundal in the Guardian on 3rd July 2012, a conspiracy of the Muslims in the 1990s to convert Sikh girls into Islam on the background of historic conflicts between the Sikh and the Muslim. It all began at least from 1990s when, as Sunny Hundal writes, ‘an anonymous leaflet (suspected to be by Hizbu ut-Tahrir followers) urged Muslim men to seduce Sikh girls and convert them to Islam’. The practice is rampant in Kerala, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and in other few places targeting Hindu girls. One of the methods of seducing girls is to feign love and promise marriage. On occasions, it is found that the Muslim man takes Hindu name. In Assam, several cases have been reported where a Muslim man in Hindu name feigns love or promises job and elopes with the girl. A few girls have been rescued also. In our tradition, marriage is not an event between two persons; it is a bonding between two families and their relatives.

    IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399.Volume 10, Issue 3 Ver. II (Mar. 2016), PP 01-16 www.iosrjournals.org Indian Tribal Ornaments; a Hidden Treasure Dr. Jyoti Dwivedi Department of Environmental Biology A.P.S. University Rewa (M.P.) 486001India Abstract: In early India, people handcrafted jewellery out of natural materials found in abundance all over the country. Seeds, feathers, leaves, berries, fruits, flowers, animal bones, claws and teeth; everything from nature was affectionately gathered and artistically transformed into fine body jewellery. Even today such jewellery is used by the different tribal societies in India. It appears that both men and women of that time wore jewellery made of gold, silver, copper, ivory and precious and semi-precious stones.Jewelry made by India's tribes is attractive in its rustic and earthy way. Using materials available in the local area, it is crafted with the help of primitive tools. The appeal of tribal jewelry lies in its chunky, unrefined appearance. Tribal Jewelry is made by indigenous tribal artisans using local materials to create objects of adornment that contain significant cultural meaning for the wearer. Keywords: Tribal ornaments, Tribal culture, Tribal population , Adornment, Amulets, Practical and Functional uses. I. Introduction Tribal Jewelry is primarily intended to be worn as a form of beautiful adornment also acknowledged as a repository for wealth since antiquity. The tribal people are a heritage to the Indian land. Each tribe has kept its unique style of jewelry intact even now. The original format of jewelry design has been preserved by ethnic tribal.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 . ABSTRACT The thesis is concerned with the Mundas, a 600,000 strong tribe living on the Chptanagpur plateau in South Bihar, India. An attempt is made to explore and correlate linkages between certain religious and social changes found to be taking place among this group of people. A substantial body of ethnographic literature about the Mundas exists in the writings of colonial servants and foreign missionaries. This providesaa point of departure and a baseline for assessing some of the many subsequent changes undergone by this group of cultivators who are traditionally organized into a segmentary lineage society and who are outside the Hindu caste system both ritually and economically. The changes in social organization discussed here include the protective tenancy legislation enacted by the British in 1908 to prevent further alienation of tribal land to outsiders, the growing shortage of virgin land and its effect on lineage organization and village life, the growth of marketing and monetary structures, missions and education, and the increased cultural 'nationalism' of tribal people in Chotanagpur.
