Ota, IAS, Commissioner-cum-Director SCSTRTI, Bhubaneswar iv Preface The transition in economy and impact of liberalization, privatization and globalization has indeed impacted the tribal households’ economy. It has not only changed the tribal development paradigm but it has also broken the social fabric of tribal community. As such the weavers among the tribal communities are now-a-days rarely seen. Out of the total eight tribal communities investigated, the study has revealed that only four of them such as “Bonda, Gadaba, Kandha and Kulis”are weavers and the remaining four like “Santal, LanjiaSaora, Gond and Juangs are classified as non-weavers. Our markets do not recognize the true value of tribal textiles. Even in socio-economic and cultural context, most of the tribal textiles has been less appreciated. If this value is recognized and people are willing to pay a higher price for tribal textiles, this would translate into higher wages for weavers and act as a boost to most of the rural-based livelihood opportunities associated with these activities. If the weavers are not given enough work, it kills the art of textiles and livelihood of the weavers. There are agencies like TRIFED promoted by the State Government for promotion of marketing of tribal textiles, placing tribal textiles at the center of the quest for profitability and growth. Besides, various cooperative models have been tried out in the state but most of them have failed due to poor profit margin. The dwindling natural resource base (raw material availability) further limits the scope of making tribal textiles a supportive occupation for livelihoods of tribal. Branding, positioning and pricing of tribal textiles do not support the competitive textile world. Yet, it seems essential to enable all weavers to become stakeholders and beneficiaries of the larger wealth creation process through sale of tribal textiles. Intellectual property rights for tribal textiles are other issues which researchers have grappled with throughout the investigations. It would require that each of the tribal textiles is to be documented and some of the designs and colour are decoded in order to bring it to a proposition of achieving intellectual property rights. It will certainly open up new avenues for competitive business. The study on tribal textiles has cited a greater importance on tribal textiles preparation as weavers found themselves valued, respected, a part of something bigger than their own immediate interest, and therefore the nature of their contribution changes. The study draws positive ambience for further promotion of tribal textiles. The greatest motivation come from the weavers, who have been willing to take up the work on a commercial scale, small idea given by them to the mainstream retail to give relevance to tribal textiles. There are several very successful stories in the textile space. Taking these to the next level it necessitates investment and resources which recognize the value of textile and the socioeconomic returns it generates for weavers. This is the perspective that this study bring to the fore-front. The report is organized in to 5 Chapters. Besides, the report contains the executive summary, references and Annexure including a set of tools, lists of tables and figures. The Chapter-I gives study background, review of literature, research methodology and analytical framework. The Chapter-II presents profile of study tribes and their sample households. While the Chapter-III maps tribal textiles in Odisha, Chapter-IV discusses on the marketing and livelihood issues relating to tribal textiles. Finally, Chapter- V suggests way forward and recommendations. It is expected that the study would be helpful for the administrators and key field functionaries at government level for conservation of tribal textiles of Odisha.

  • Glossary on Scheduled Tribes Of
    CENSUS OF INDIA~ 1961 MADHYA PRADESH GLOSSARY ON SCHEDULED TRIBES OF MADHYA PRADESH Hy K. C. DUBEY, Deputy Superintendent, Census Operations, Madhya Pradesh. 1969 In ,the '1961 Census it was origina11y proposed to prepare ethnographic notes on all the principal Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes of Madhya Pradesh. Some work had been done in this direction and notes on some tribes were also prepared. However, for various reasons the project on ethnographic notes could not be completed. We in the State Census Office thought that whether or not the ethnographic notes are prepared, compilation of a glossary on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes would be" very useful to all concerned. It 'will' show the population for all Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and synonymous groups li'sted in the Sche.duled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Li.sts (Modification) Order, 1956 which information is not available in the Census publications and it will help to briefly introduce all such Scheduled Caste s, Scpeduled Tribe s and synonymous groups. 'l'he glossary, it was thought, would be more welcome to general administration thrul the detailed ethnographic note s. Thus, the preparation of glossary on Scheduled Tribes was taken in hand in 1963 ~~d it was eompleted in 1964. Because of various other·pre-occupations a similar glossary on Scheduled Castes could not be prepared. 'The g1.ossar~' prepared at the State Census Office was submitted to the Social Studies Section of the ~1Jin- cl . Registrar General. It was scrutinised there and the suggestions received from the Registrar General were incorporated in the glossary.

  • Indian Tribal Ornaments; a Hidden Treasure
    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.

  • Final Report Evaluation Study of Tribal/Folk Arts and Culture in West Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhatisgrah and Bihar
    Final Report Evaluation Study of Tribal/Folk Arts and Culture in West Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhatisgrah and Bihar Submitted to SER Division Planning Commission Govt. of India New Delhi Submitted by Gramin Vikas Seva Sanshtha Dist. 24 Parganas (North), West Bengal 700129 INDIA Executive Summary: India is marked by its rich traditional heritage of Tribal/Folk Arts and Culture. Since the days of remote past, the diversified art & cultural forms generated by the tribal and rural people of India, have continued to evince their creative magnificence. Apart from their outstanding brilliance from the perspective of aesthetics , the tribal/folk art and culture forms have played an instrumental role in reinforcing national integrity, crystallizing social solidarity, fortifying communal harmony, intensifying value-system and promoting the elements of humanism among the people of the country. However with the passage of time and advent of globalization, we have witnessed the emergence of a synthetic homogeneous macro-culture. Under the influence of such a voracious all-pervasive macro-culture the diversified heterogeneous tribal/folk culture of our country are suffering from attrition and erosion. Thus the stupendous socio-cultural exclusivity of the multifarious communities at the different nooks and corners of our country are getting endangered. Under such circumstances, the study–group Gramin Vikash Seva Sanstha formulated a project proposal on “Evaluation Study of Tribal/Folk Arts and Culture in West Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhatisgrah
