Tribal Health in Tripura: Status, Challenges and Way Forward — Dr. Jayanta Choudhury & Moutoshi Deb 276 v . Message It is well recognized that improvement in the health status of population is both an important means of increasing productivity and economic growth as well as an end in itself. The importance of improvements in health is also acknowledged in the Sustainable Development Goals of the UNDP, which calls for a dramatic reduction in poverty and improvements in health, especially of the poor. In India, with its vast majority of poor population, ensuring the good health of the people is a challenging task. Tribal people constitute a significant proportion in population of India and cultural pattern varies from tribe to tribe and region to region. More over cultural settings, eco-system, magico-religious beliefs and treatment etc. influence tribal health and health seeking behaviours. Since independence various plans, programmes have been taken to improve the health status of Tribal people but, in reality, in many parts of India they suffers from chronic infections and diseases out of which water borne diseases are life threatening. Under this back ground an International Seminar on “Tribal Health: Issues, Challenges & Opportunities” was held on 6-7 April, 2015 organized by Centre for Rural Studies (CRS), Department of Rural Management and Development, Tripura University in collaboration with Tribal Research and Cultural Institute, Government of Tripura. Many renowned academicians, dignitaries and policy makers participated the seminar and presented their valuable papers. Present edited volume is the outcome of the seminar and hope it will be immense helpful for the readers, researchers and policy makers. I congratulate Dr. Choudhury and wish a grand success of the present volume. Shri.

Therefore addressing tribal health and its twin conundrums presents a daunting challenge to development practitioners which is the subject of this collection of papers presented at the International Seminar on Tribal health organized by the Centre for Rural Studies, Tripura University in April 2015.
