At the 1951 Census there was no union table devoted particularly to them, except one giving their total numbers with economic classification. The 1961 Census has endeavoured to produce the population figure for each Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe and their cross classification by age, marital status, ·aucation, religion and industrial category. Hence these Special Tables. Included in these is also a table on household cUltivation confined to the total Scheduled Tribes, one on distribution of each tribe by mother tongue and subsidiary language and another on classification of non­ workers of each tribe by sex and type of activity. A complete list of villages predominantly popu­ lated by the Scheduled Tribes is given in the Appendix. The Special Tables on Scheduled Castes have already been published in Part V-A(i). The total figures of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes population for 'each village and town have been given in the Primary Census Abstract. The figures for the police stations and towns will be found in Part II-A of the West Bengal Census Report, and for villages in the District Census Handbooks. Table C-VIII printed in Part II-C(i) of the Report classifies the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes popUlation of the districts by literacy and industrial categories of wQrkers and non.workers. Ethnographic Notes on Sche­ duled Castes and Scheduled Tribes based on studies undertaken as ancillaries to the 1961 Cen­ sus enumeration will be found in Part V-B. For an account of the treatment of castes and tribes in earlier Censuses, reference is invited to the Introductioll to Part V-A(i).

Where two or more tribe names are grouped under one item in the Scheduled Tribes List, total figures for all the names have been shown against the item, arranged under alphabetical order on the basis of the first name of the item. 'Unclassified' denotes persons who were returned as members or Scheduled Tribes with no tribe name or vague or unclassifiable tribe names. For Scheduled Tribes which are listed for specified areas of the State or a district (not its whole area), the popUlation figures represent the popUlation enumerated in those specified areas alone and do not include the population which may be residing in the State or district, as the case may be, outside those specified areas. The restriction is based not on nativity but on physical presence on the day of the enumeration. Each table presented in this volume has a fly-leaf prefixed to it stating the scope of the table. A general note broadly summarising the statistics follows immediately.

FOREWORD I have much pleasure in introducing the Lohit Distri<^ Gazetteer, the first of a series of District Gazetteers proposed to be brought out by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. A'Gazetteer is a repository of care­ fully collected and systematically collated information on a wide range of subjects pertaining to a particular area. These information are of con­ siderable importance and interest. Since independence, Arunachal Pra­ desh has been making steady progress in various spheres. This north-east frontier comer of the country has, during these years, witnessed tremen­ dous changes in social, economic, political and cultural spheres. These changes are reflected in die Gazetteers. 1 hope that as a reflex of these changes, the Lohit District Gazetteer would prove to be quite useful not only to the administrators but also to researdi schplars and all those who are keen to know in detail about one of the districts of Arunachal Pradesh.

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.

Sixteen hundred and fifteen blood samples from both sexes were tested for 5 red cell enzyme systems: ACP, ESD, PGD, GLO, LDH, and Hb pattern. Three hundred and nineteen male individuals were tested for G-6-PD enzyme deficiency. The distribution of the enzyme markers and Hb show a range of variation which are more or less within the Indian range. Cases of homozygous HbSS were detected in all the tribes except 3 tribes in Orissa. Two cases of LDH Cal-I homozygote were found in two Dravidian language speak- ing Orissa tribes. The Z2-values for testing the homogeneity of gene fre- quencies indicate a non-significant heterogeneity for all alleles in the in- dividual system. Within population diversity seems to be larger than between population diversity. The degree of over all genetic differentia- tion as measured by Gs~ value is 0.0154+0.0071.

These phyla encompass a minimum of 11, but probably 15 or even more mutually unintelligible languages, all showing considerable internal dialect variation. Previous literature provided largely incomplete or incorrect accounts of these phyla. Based on recent field research, this article discusses in detail the several languages of four phyla whose speakers are included in the Monpa Scheduled Tribe, providing the most accurate speaker data, geographical distribution, internal variation and degree of endangerment. The article also provides some insights into the historical background of the area and the impact this has had on the distribution of the ethnolinguistic groups. Keywords: Arunachal Pradesh, Tibeto-Burman, Trans-Himalayan, Monpa 1. INTRODUCTION Arunachal Pradesh is ethnically and linguistically the most diverse state of India.

  • 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.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY With the Government of Bangladesh driving its National Sanitation Campaign from 2003-2012, Bangladesh has made significant progress in reducing open defecation, from 34 percent in 1990 to just once percent of the national population in 20151. Despite these achievements, much remains to be done if Bangladesh is to achieve universal improved2 sanitation coverage by 2030, in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Bangladesh’s current rate of improved sanitation is 61 percent, growing at only 1.1 percent annually. To achieve the SDGs, Bangladesh will need to provide almost 50 million rural people with access to improved sanitation, and ensure services are extended to Bangladesh’s rural poor. Many households in rural Bangladesh do not have sufficient cash on hand to upgrade sanitation systems, but can afford the cost if they are able to spread the cost over time.

Michelsen Institute Department of Social Science and Development ISSN 0803-0030 Inner Frontiers: Santal Responses to Acculturation Marne Carn- Bouez R 1991: 6 Bergen, December 1991 · CHR. MICHELSEN INSTITUTE Department of Social Science and Development ReporF1991: 6 Inner Frontiers: Santal Responses to Acculturation Marine Carrin-Bouez Bergen, December 1991. 82 p. Summary: The Santals who constitute one of the largest communities in India belong to the Austro- Asiatie linguistic group. They have managed to keep their language and their traditional system of values as well. Nevertheless, their attempt to forge a new identity has been expressed by developing new attitudes towards medicine, politics and religion. In the four aricles collected in this essay, deal with the relationship of the Santals to some other trbal communities and the surrounding Hindu society. Sammendrag: Santalene som utgjør en av de tallmessig største stammefolkene i India, tilhører den austro- asiatiske språkgrppen. De har klar å beholde sitt språk og likeså mye av sine tradisjonelle verdisystemer. Ikke desto mindre, har de også forsøkt å utvikle en ny identitet. Dette blir uttrkt gjennom nye ideer og holdninger til medisin, politikk og religion. I de fire artiklene i dette essayet, blir ulike aspekter ved santalene sitt forhold til andre stammesamfunn og det omliggende hindu samfunnet behandlet.
