Economic Empowerment of Tribal Women in India through NGOs, SHGs and MFIs – A Critical Review

Author(s) Dr.K.B.Nayak
Country India
Abstract Today, though the tribal people constituting about 8.6 percent of India’s population is an integral part of India's socio-economic and political fabric, but they are considered as the most backward and weakest sections of the population in terms of various factors of their backward socio-economic status such as poverty, illiteracy, lack of developmental facilities and adequate primary health facilities etc. Throughout India, half of tribal population constitutes women who are vulnerable in terms of their socio-economic status today. In fact, women in tribal society play a vital role in their social, cultural, economic and religious ways of life and are considered as an economic asset in their society. But they are still lagging far behind in their different walks of life like education, employment, good health and economic empowerment etc. Poverty is one of the major factors that deprive them not only from fulfilling their basic needs of life but also from opportunities to participation in development programs and decision-making process. In tribal area, the condition of women is very measurable even in their day-to-day life. They spend the greatest amount of their time and energy in collecting fuel, fodder water, looking after livestock and kitchen. It is acute poverty which pushes them towards the down - to the lowest strata of society. Therefore, there is a need of economic empowerment of tribal women in India. In this paper, an attempt has been made to intensively review available literature and studies on various issues and policy strategies for economic empowerment of tribal women in India. A number studies in different periods have revealed significant improvement in the status of tribal women through Micro-Finance facility and because of intervention of NGOs, SHGs and MFIs in rural India. Finally, this paper suggests some remedial measures for economic empowerment of tribal women in India. For instance, besides pro-women policies in respect of “land relations”, more help and support are needed from the government, which will promote the NGOs, SHGs and MFIs to attain expected results in near future.
