  • “Indigenous People and Forest Rights in Jharkhand”
    “Indigenous People and Forest Rights in Jharkhand” Jagdeep Oraon Assistant Professor & D.I.C Dept. of Anthropology& Tribal Studies Sidho Kanho Birsha University, Purulia West Bengal, India- 723101 [email protected] The 67.7 million people belonging to ‘Scheduled Tribe’ in India are generally considered to be ‘Adivasi’, literally meaning ‘Indigenous People’ or original inhabitants, though the term ‘Scheduled Tribe’ (ST) is not coterminous with the term ‘Adivasi’. Scheduled Tribe is an administrative term used for the purpose of ‘administering’ certain specific constitutional privileges, protection and benefits for specific section of peoples historically considered disadvantaged and ‘backward’. However, this administrative term does not exactly match all the peoples called ‘Adivasi’. Out of the 5653 distinct communities in India, 635 are considered to be ‘tribes’ or ‘Adivasis’. In comparison, one finds that estimated number of STs varies from 250 to 593. It must, however, be stated that the Indian Constitution does not use the term ‘Adivasi’ and instead refers to the STs as ‘Anusuchit Jana Jati’. Traditionally ‘Jana’ was the more popular term to refer to the tribes in the Hindi heartland. (Ray: 1972) One of the prime factors for claiming aboriginal or indigenous status for the tribes is to enable them to gain territorial, land rights and control over natural resources. There are, however, vicious forces in the country who are overtly active in not conceding these rights. The Hindutva forces term the tribes as ‘Vanvasi’. This term not only conveys a sense of primitiveness but also tries to deny the territorial rights. The Gandhians too were not very far from it and they considered the tribes more from a culturological position and referred to them as ‘Vanyajati’.

  • District Agriculture Plan PALAMU DISTRICT 2008-09 to 2011-12
    District Agriculture Plan PALAMU DISTRICT 2008-09 to 2011-12 NABARD CONSULTANCY SERVICES JHARKHAND REGIONAL OFFICE RANCHI 2 MAP OF PALAMAU DISTRICT Map of the District 3 FOREWORD Jharkhand, the 28th State of the Indian Union is best known for its rich mineral resources. However, 78% of the total population of 2.69 crore live in rural areas, largely dependent only on agriculture and allied activities. The total cultivable land in the State compares well at 52% of the total geographical area with 55% in the country. But, unfortunately while 76% of the total cultivable area is under net sown area in the country, only 43% is cultivated in Jharkhand. The state suffers from several critical gaps in the agricultural and allied sectors. It is against this back drop that the Agricultural Development plan for 21 districts of the State have been prepared by NABCONS on the basis of the assignment given by the Government of Jharkhand. The proposed plan envisages a holistic revamp of the entire agriculture and allied sectors. The full implementation of the proposals is expected to significantly increase the cropping intensity, the net and gross cropped area and finally result in vastly improved nutrient availability to the rural population. The investments in allied sectors and integrated approach to farming are important to boost the household incomes and to mitigate the risks in agriculture dependent almost entirely on the vagaries of nature with only 10% of cultivated land under irrigation against the national average of 40%. It is a great privilege and simultaneously a big challenge for NABCONS, the consultancy subsidiary of NABARD, to have been assigned the task of preparing the State wise and district (in respect of 21 districts) wise comprehensive Agriculture Plan (SAP & DAP) by the Jharkhand state govt.

  • Scaling up Quality Improvement to Reduce Maternal and Child Mortality in Lohardaga District, Jharkhand, India Summary
    CASE STUDY Scaling up quality improvement to reduce maternal and child mortality in Lohardaga District, Jharkhand, India Summary Lohardaga District in Jharkhand State has high rates of infant mortality, and State authorities recognized that the district needed additional support to reduce mortality. The USAID ASSIST Project initially started supporting four facilities to improve routine care of mothers and new-born babies. The facilities’ success in ensuring that nearly all mothers and newborns were receiving quality routine care prompted the district health authorities to scale up quality improvement initiatives to five other health centres and 29 sub-centres. The project supported district health authorities to develop a strategy to scale up quality improvement work in these sites through the government system, using government resources. Quality of care has also improved in the five scale-up facilities, and district officials have taken steps to scale up their quality improvement strategy to the rest of Lohardaga’s facilities. Lohardaga District is located in the south western part of Jharkhand State in the tribal belt of Chotanagpur plateau. It was identified by the State government as requiring additional support to reduce maternal and child mortality. Lohardaga has an infant mortality rate of 53, which is the worst of all districts in Jharkhand and well above the state-wide rate of 36 deaths per 1000 live births. The USAID ASSIST Project started work in Lohardaga in January 2014 and initially supported four facilities to establish quality improvement teams. The facilities were chosen based on delivery load and account for 42.3 percent of institutional deliveries in the district.
