Abstract:

Empowerment is an active and multidimensional process. Empowerment involves awareness; enhancement of ability and involvement in decision making; possession of assets and power and a state of proper execution of rights and responsibilities. Thus, empowerment may be in various fields, such as, social, economic, political, religious, etc. State of empowerment reflects the stage of developmental process in a particular field or overall development. In tribal communities, the role of women is substantial and crucial. Tribal women in India amply contribute in livelihood activities along with performing household chores and family responsibilities. Despite several economic, political and social changes, tribal women are still far behind. This paper assess and reviews the status of empowerment of tribal women in central India through her role and status in social, economic, religious and political spheres along with status of her education, liberty, authority and possess rights.

Abstract:

The status of tribal women has been like a moving equilibrium at various times and in various parts of the globe. It has sometimes been liberal and other times of constraint and subordination. With regard to India, gradual variations are marked in the works of vedic, puranic medieval and modem age writers. The (constitution of India guarantees several rights to Scheduled Tribes including women. Various studies on the South Indian tribals have always been ignored tribal women though they continue to constitute half of the tribal population. Predominantly, the male bias remained largely unrestricted as such studies were by a large, carried out by the males. The latter extracted information from male respondents, as the women were comparatively difficult to approach due to their inherent reluctance for the purpose.1 Hence, the world’s view of tribal women, regarding their own position in society, could not be put forth. Women have been playing a significant role in the society and culture and will continue to do the same in future. Even when the intimate relation of man and women is accepted and women have been occupying a very prominent status in the social milieu, the treatment of men and women has been differentiated in social structure as well as social organization.

Abstract:

Women constitute nearly half of the aggregate population in India; but bulks of them are not empowered to participate in socio-cultural, economic and political life. Most of the women are unskilled and, as such, economically and socially dependent on men which rigorously restrict their prospect for socio-economic empowerment. The assumption is that investments of microfinance in microenterprises, small business, transmitted through women self-help groups, surges women’s access to productive occupation and income, enable women to make a greater contribution to household income and thereby improve well-being for women. Based on field studies conducted in the most backward tribal-dominated villages of KBK districts of Odisha and supplemented by secondary sources of data, this study seeks to investigate the impact of microfinance as a strategy in alleviating poverty and empowering tribal women.

Abstract:

Sickle cell anemia is wide spread among tribal communities in India. A high prevalence of the sickle gene has been demonstrated in various tribal communities of Gujarat state. Tapi is tribal dominated district. The patient suffering from sickle cell anemia develops blood related complication and sickle cell disease sufferers have also shortened lifespan and poor quality of life. So to combat against this disease we need to focus on tribal population. Knowledge plays an important role for achieving desired results. Thus, the study was carried out to assess the knowledge of tribal women towards sickle cell anemia. The data was collected purposively with 100 tribal women who have positive sickle cell status. The data was collected with the help of structured interview schedule and analyzed with appropriate statistical tools. It is indicated that majority of tribal women had young aged, sickle cell trait status, married, in joint family, more than half of tribal women had education upto higher secondary level & 36.00 per cent tribal women were illiterate. Nearly half of tribal women had no any type of social participation. Majority of tribal women were not taking medical consultancy and low level of knowledge about sickle cell anemia.

Abstract:

Tribal people are remaining in middle of backward regions, forest areas and mountains and confronting numerous issues because of absence of access to quality medicinal services, monetary help and transportation system. The main aim of this study is to examine the socio economic status of tribal women and analyze income and expenditure pattern of tribal women .In this regard three villages in forest areas of Khammam district had been selected and primary data had been collected from 120 tribal women. The logistic regression analysis had been conducted to know the factors influencing tribal people to access bank loans by tribal people. The major finding of this study is that tribal women with land ownership can improve their socio economic status.. It is found from the predictive analysis that socio economic profile of tribal women can be improved with more enhancement of land ownership. The education facilities and healthcare facilities are not considered by the logistic model for accessing the bank loan by tribal women. The standard of living conditions of tribal women in forest area can be enhanced through entrepreneurship rather than providing employment opportunities.

Education is one of the essential means of empowering women with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence, which is necessary to participate fully in the extension process. It begins to higher productivity, efficiency and better socio-economic development of the individual as well as society Education is a mean to secure empowerment among the marginalized tribal women Education of women is conceived as one of the most powerful weapons in the development of a nation. Economic Empowerment of Tribal women through education will contribute a lot to national development. Educational development is a far distant dream for Tribal women. The educational state of Tribal women is very low related to their male counterparts. Development of Literacy among tribal women is a challenging issue in the present scenario. Without education of tribal women, meaningful, inclusive growth of the country is not possible. Education and economic empowerment of tribal women can be measured through the power they have over financial resources to earn income and their per capita income, access to education, access and availability of professional opportunities and participation in economic decision making and their access to political opportunities. Finally, the paper concludes by arguing for and educational policy to adequately respond to essential education in Andhra Pradesh for tribal women community.

Abstract:

The marginalised tribal women comprise the weakest section of the Indian society. It is a sad reality that their identity remains weak, unvoiced and largely unexplored. Invigorating them would enhance the collective national capability as it will carry justice, equity and development to the most vulnerable segment of the nation, thereby reinforcing and the frailest of its stalk. The portrayal of tribal women in literature can go a long way in spreading awareness about the cause, not only on the national, but also on an international scale. Writing on these marginalised, poor, and socially excluded women can in the long run, change the perception of the society and bring to attention the neglected lot, integrating them rightfully with society. Prominent writers including Mahasweta Devi, Kamala Markandaya and Gita Mehta among others have made important contributions in this area. While the tribal narratives voice the concerns of the tribals, there still remains lot of room for exploring and expressing the concerns of these women for a feminist rendition . This paper examines the potential of writings on the female tribal protagonist.

Abstract:

Purpose of the study: The study tried to evaluate two issues which are socio-economic conditions of tribal women and the impact of welfare schemes financing by banks for income generation among tribal women. Methodology: This empirical research adopted a quantitative method by distributing a schedule to 120 tribal women located in a rural-based Khammam district of Telangana state. The data analyzed by using the one-way ANOVA, mean, regression analysis and standard deviation (S.D.) with the assistance of Statistical Package for Social Sciences to determining the impact of income generation schemes on socio-economic conditions. Main Findings: This study found that incomes are improved phenomenally after availing welfare schemes targeted at tribal women. However, the tribal women are needed to facilitate awareness of various schemes on circulation by the Government. The known income generation schemes were impacted positively among few tribal women and they have expressed satisfaction as there was significant empowerment in their livelihoods. Applications of this study: The findings of the study are useful for the government in implementing income generation activities to strengthen tribal women economically, socially and politically. It would be relevant to apply solutions for the problems encountering by tribal women. Novelty/Originality of this study: The impact of income generation schemes has been addressed categorically concerning empowerment. Therefore a determined plan of implementation of further action can significantly empower the tribal women in all respects.

Abstract:

Empowerment and gender equality are crucial for the socio-economic development of any community, especially the tribal communities in India. Tribal women face multiple challenges such as low literacy, poor health, lack of access to productive resources, and violence. They also have limited participation in decision-making and political processes, despite their significant role in collecting and managing minor forest produce. To address these issues, various policies and measures have been taken at the national, state, and local levels, but there are still gaps between policy and practice. The patriarchal structure of the society and the household hinders the empowerment of tribal women and their agency. Therefore, there is a need for affirmative action and equitable progress to ensure that tribal women have equal opportunities and rights in all spheres of life. This paper reviews the existing literature on the status and role of tribal women in India, the nature and dimensions of change in their lives, and the challenges and prospects for their empowerment and gender development. The paper also suggests some recommendations for enhancing the empowerment and gender equality of tribal women in India.

Abstract:

In recognition of their distinct culture and identity, tribal communities in India enjoy constitutionally guaranteed autonomy and self-governance, which extend to customary laws for marriage, matrimonial rights and inheritance. In contexts where the tribal customary law has denied women inheritance rights, some women have approached the courts of law. The Hindu law on inheritance specifically excludes tribal communities from its application; yet, courts have found a way to apply it by reasoning that the parties to the case were ‘sufficiently Hinduised’. This article examines Indian judicial responses to this issue, and the ramifications for the inheritance rights of tribal women. The article critiques law’s lack of imagination and inability to capture the complex dynamics of social relationships in tribal communities, in a context of their massive dispossession from tribal lands. While highlighting the distinct relationship of property, community and family in tribal communities, it examines how law could ensure that tribal women retain their tribal identity and yet secure equal inheritance rights, rather than force a trade-off between tribal identity and securing inheritance rights on grounds of ‘sufficient Hinduisation’.

Abstract:

Using cross-cultural ethnographic and archaeological analogy, this paper offers a new interpretation for a specific societal attribute represented on the Iron Age stelae of Daunia, arguing that the designs on the forearms of the female stelae do not represent gloves but are instead tattoos. By questioning a single, long-held, belief about the stelae, it is hoped to highlight a very important principle of method: the need to identify and investigate the socio-cultural context of an image or artefact. For too long the Daunian stelae have been looked at through Hellenized eyes. Unlike other Italic societies of this period, the Daunians appear to have remained reasonably unaffected by Greek and wider Mediterranean influence, suggesting the Iron Age inhabitants of the region retained a strong ethnic identity. With limited evidence of their social and religious life deriving from other sources, any hope of understanding these people properly relies on a correct reading of their stelae, which can only be achieved by firmly placing these monuments within an Adriatic milieu.

Abstract:

Background: As the working styles of tribal and non-tribal working women differ, there may be variations in the anthropometric measurements of the hands. Physical prowess and anthropometric measures have strong correlations with various working activity performance levels. Objective: To evaluate the hand anthropometry in adult tribal and non- tribal light working women in Rajshahi Division. Methodology: This Cross-sectional comparative study was done at Department of anatomy, Rajshahi Medical College, Rajshahi in Different zone of Rajshahi division (Babolding Chapainawabgonj, Kolmakandi, Nachol, Chiniatola Rohonpur, Godagari Rajshahi, Bodolgachi Naogaon, Rajshahi University, Karitas Rajshahi, Rajshahi College) from 1 (one) year (July 2017 to June 2018). During the study, two group of women with in the age 18-45 years were randomly selected from different zone of Rajshahi division. Among that one group of tribal women total 135 and another group of non-tribal women total 150 respectively. Results: Throughout the research, 22.2% of tribal participants were 20 or older, whereas almost one-third (30.7%) of non-tribal participants were 20 or older. Moreover, 60 (44.44%) are light workers, whereas 75 (55.6%) are intermediate employees. There are 150 non-tribal employees, with 75 (50%) being light workers and 75 (50%) being moderate workers. palmer width was significantly greater among light worker tribal population than that among their non-tribal counterpart (p < 0.001). 3rd and the 4th digits of the former group were considerably longer than those of the later group (p = 0.073 and p = 0.002 respectively). All other hand anthropometrics were almost identically distributed between the light tribal and non-tribal workers. Conclusion: Hand/Palmer width was significantly greater among light worker tribal population than non-tribal group. In case of light workers 3rd and 4th digits length were longer in tribal than non-tribal group. In case of light workers rests of the .....

Abstract:

Background: Sirohi is one of the aspirational districts of Rajasthan which is also tribal-dominated. The maternal and early infant health indicators are worrisome compared to regional or national statistics. First-trimester registration of pregnant women is 54% in district Sirohi, which is much less as compared to registration in the state of Rajasthan (63%) and India (59%). Four antenatal care (ANC) visits of pregnant women are 32% in district Sirohi, which is also much less as compared to ANC visits in the state of Rajasthan (39%) and India (51%). However, there was no tribal-specific data regarding maternal and early infant health. Objective: The study aims to identify gaps for improvement in maternal and early infant health care practices among tribal pregnant women in an aspirational tribal district of Sirohi, Rajasthan. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted among 560 tribal pregnant women to assess the existing maternal, and early infant health care knowledge and practices through a pre-validated questionnaire in the tribal population of district Sirohi Rajasthan. Result: Nineteen per cent (19.5%, n = 109) of tribal pregnant women got married between the age of 10 and 17 (less than the legal age of marriage of 18 years). There is a significant relationship between early age at marriage and low educational status P < 0.001, r = 0.241 among participants. Measurement of weight, blood pressure and urine examination was done in 32.5% (n = 181), 19.5% (n = 109) and 7.1% (n = 39), respectively, among tribal pregnant women. The majority (94.6%) of the pregnant tribal women (385/407) were anaemic. Approximately 60% (n = 337) of mothers were unaware of thermal protection (skin-to-skin care). Sixty per cent (n = 334) of tribal pregnant women preferred to seek consultation regarding antenatal and infant health care from doctors, while 40.1% (n = 224) were more comfortable seeking advice from traditional birth attendants (TBAs). Conclusion: The study finds inadequate knowledge and practice towards maternal and early infant care among tribal pregnant women. As TBAs influence tribal pregnant women, systematic training and involvement of TBAs in maternal and child health are indispensable.

They are hunting and collecting forest produce for their means of living. They usually never mix with other tribal groups. They still follow black magic and sorcery. They speak mixture of Dravidian languages. Kattunayakans are experts in collecting honey. The Paniyas worked as agricultural labourers. The Paniyas have only a crude idea of religion. They worship deity ‘Kali’ and banyan tree. They speak Paniya language, which belongs to the Dravidian family. They used to marry more than one woman provided if they can afford them. Another tribes, Irulas are collecting minor forest products. Some of them are also involved in looking after the cattles of others. They speak Irula, which belongs to the Dravidian family. Irulas are involved in healing practices and they are specialists in traditional herbal medicines. Traditionally, Irulas involved in snake and rat catching. Education and economic empowerment of tribal women can be measured through the power they have over financial resources to earn income and their per capita income, access to education, access and availability of professional opportunities and participation in economic decision making and their access to political opportunities. In Tamil Nadu, nearly 50% of the tribal population are illiterate. Among the literate groups, women constitute more percentage compared to men. This shows the positive turn towards the efforts on tribal women education. But efforts must be taken to make the entire population literate. Hence, it is essential for the central and state governments to concentrate their efforts more towards the illiterate group of the tribal population for ensuring overall development of the economy.

Abstract:

As per the Government of India 2013 database, anaemia in India is a serious public health issue with a high prevalence of about 74 percent with haemoglobin< 11gm/dl. It’s prevalent in all age groups, nearly 58 percent in pregnant women, 50 percent among non-pregnant non-lactating women, 56 percent among adolescent girls. The situation is no different in Chhattisgarh. With a tag of tribal dominated state situation needs to be addressed carefully because of socio-economic status of tribal women is comparatively low. The present study assessed the efficacy of dietary supplementation in the form of multigrain panjiri in management of anaemia among ethnic tribal anaemic women of Chhattisgarh. In the study, 100 tribal women from tribal dominated region of Chhattisgarh were selected as sample. The age range of selected subjects was 19 to 25 years. The inclusion criteria for selection of subjects was WHO classification for anaemia. Cyanmet haemoglobin method was used for estimation of haemoglobin. Two groups were created with equal number of subjects in both the groups. The experimental group received dietary supplementation in the form of multigrain panjiri for three months while subjects belonging to control group were not supplemented the additional soya multigrain panjiri. Results reveal that after the study period, more percentage of selected tribal women from experimental group had normal haemoglobin levels as compared to their counterpart i.e. tribal women belonging to control group. It was concluded that soya multigrain panjiri when used as dietary supplement, is beneficial in increasing the haemoglobin levels and thereby useful in management of anaemia in tribal women.

Abstract:

This paper attempts to analyse the status of women entrepreneurship initiatives through cooperatives in Jharkhand, India and highlights the impact on tribal women empowerment, and their leadership competencies on this economic contribution. Bargaining for women leadership positions in all spheres of Asian societies has emerged as an important concern in quest of equity, whereas tribal women’s development has mostly remained limited to their participation in various programmes run by the government as well as non-government agencies. Recognition of women leaders from a tribal community in the 21st century is still a distant dream. Yet economic empowerment and group activities in the tribal regions of Jharkhand have revealed the potential and are seen as instrumental in transforming leadership capabilities of tribal women leaders in the tribal geography of Jharkhand. The paper shares the outcomes of the author’s study based on case studies in the region, secondary data and, literature review, related to the trends in tribal women’s leadership. The study reveals that women from tribal communities of Jharkhand have traditionally been disempowered socially and treated as less capable to lead and mostly refrained from societal leadership positions. It is also revealed that with facilitation and support, they demonstrate excellent leadership competencies to manage successful collective enterprises. The study also raises prominent questions of assessing the impact and influence of such empowerment and collective entrepreneurship on socioeconomic aspects.

Abstract:

The tribal women enjoyed more flexibility about mobility than the Muslim women in the study villages may due to religious and social custom. However, despite higher flexibility about mobility, the tribal women were not significantly empowered in decision making process than the Muslim women. A few women had registered ownership on agricultural land in the study villages. Similarly, ownership of other household resources was male dominated. There was wide variation in the participation of women in the farming activities between the Muslim dominant and tribal villages. Although some women participated in the intercultural operations of non-rice crops, homeyard crops and rearing livestock but men were extensively participated in the intercultural operation of rice cultivation, and buying farm inputs and selling of marketable surplus in Mymensingh. However, the tribal women were equally participated in the farming activities (cultivation and marketing) with male.

Abstract:

Indian English fiction writers have made their particular assertions about tribals which are incomplete therefore; we do not find much reality in their novels. In the novels like The Strange Case of Billy Biswas, The Princess, The White Tiger and The English August, we find the unauthentic representation of the tribal life. In every novel, tribal life and characters are shown dependable on mainstream heroes for the help. Novelist’s tribal women and man, surrender to mainstream sophisticated social arrangements. In most of the novels, they consider the non-tribal person as god and savior for them who is outsider of their tribal territory. This is a kind of internal orientalism. The political victimization of the tribal is the colonial phenomena. Mainstream writers assume that the tribals are the uncivilized and no need of cultivation hence tribals are the community for political victimization. Mainstream literatures have never depicted their victimization on ground realities and given place in mainstream canonical literature. This research article tries to examine the displacement and distortion of Adivasi life in the selected novels written in Indian English.

Results: Of 2400 preconception women, 626 (26.08%) were not aware of sonography. Of those who knew, 694 (39.1%) said sonography helped in confirmation of pregnancy, 1080 (60.88%) said it helped in knowing fetal age and position. Of 1040 pregnant women also 271 (26.1%) were not aware of USG. Those who knew, sources of information, were Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) in 208 (27%), nurse midwives in 170 (22.1%), family members in 311 (40.4%), doctors in 80 (10.4%).

Abstract:

Gurung women of Mustang, Nepal, and Ute women of Colorado, USA, are fascinating people and subjects. They have upheld matriarchy in the predominantly patriarchal world. Their free, symphonic life presents a model for other women. The two tribal womenfolk living in two different poles show keen relations regarding many customs and rituals as well as in displaying women power. It is an interesting and meaningful study to compare the societies of these two tribal womenfolk and trace their relationship with one another. They may have been distantly related to each other in their origin as such studies imply about them.

Abstract:

Background: The indigenous people are socially, linguistically, and scientifically diverse. A global trend leads us to the notion that primitive women are somewhat less privileged than non-tribal mothers around the world. This problem also sounds true in the context of Bangladesh. A competent birth attendant at birth is the most important intervention for pregnant women. However, the use of skilled birth attendants has been widely discriminated among tribal and non-tribal women. Objective: This study assesses SBA acceptance and utilization barriers during childbirth among Bangladesh tribal women. Method: A quantitative approach was employed, and the data were collected via questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square ( ) χ 2 tests and Binary Logistic Regression were used to analyze the frequency, relationship, and to determine tribal women seeking the services of SBA during childbirth. Results: The results showed that the highest prevalence of delivery (66%) among tribal women occurred at home. 46% of the mothers gave birth to their children with the assistance of a skilled birth attendant, of which 12% of them were at home, and 34% were in the hospital. The remaining 54% of mothers gave birth to their babies with the assistance of a traditional midwife. Results also show that socio-economic conditions, education of women, distance from health care facilities, family planning, husbands’ occupation, and media exposure are the key determinants in pursuing SBA. Conclusion: The study revealed a low prevalence of utilizing skilled birth attendance among tribal women of Bangladesh. Hence, upgrading socio-economic conditions and boosting the education levels of tribal women, ensuring easy access to the media, and launching short-term training to train typical birth attendants are the key recommendations for seeking expert birth attendants.

Abstract:

What we know about women in traditional tribal societies in Northeast India is based on what oral traditions tell us about them. Although they were more resourceful and respected than the women of the plains societies, their disadvantages in a world teeming with tribal feuds were considerable. Ruthless enemies destroyed villages and killed everyone, but sometimes they spared the lives of women. When two hostile villages agreed to a truce, the women enjoyed freedom of movement, but only within the village. Kidnappings were frequent, and it was unsafe for women to leave the village unaccompanied by men. Their vulnerability prompted tribes to adopt measures such as face tattooing and the practice of tribe or village endogamy. Based on the evidence in oral traditions, mostly folk tales, this paper reconstructs the position of women in the tribal societies of Northeast India during the period of inter-tribal wars.
