Abstract :

 Tribals, irrespective of their habitat, are the first victims of development induced displacement in India. Tribals can be displaced either by non tribals or by government for developmental projects. As per the 2011 Census tribals constitute 8.6 percent of Indian population. Apart from all the North Eastern states, tribals constitute 30.6 % in Chhattisgarh, 26.2% in Jharkhand, 22.2% in Odisha and 21.1% in Madhya Pradesh of the state’s population. It is needless to say that all the above states are mineral based and various mineral based industries have come up along with other mega development projects in tribal dominated areas. As a result of involuntary displacement, like other oustees, encounter the risks as identified by Cernea (1996) for policy implications are, landlessness, joblessness, homelessness, marginalization, food insecurity, increased morbidity, lack of access to common property resources, and community disarticulation.
