India's population includes around 70% rural and 8.6% tribal inhabitants. Tribes, being vulnerable, need specific policy attention. This work explores tribes, their ethnographic status, and government efforts to improve their situation. The Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas Act 1996 (PESA Act 1996) is a key initiative, crucial to understand post-1991 economic liberalization and PESA's enactment. While liberalization allowed corporate intervention in tribal areas, PESA empowered tribes to influence decisions and manage resources. The authors critically examine both processes' impacts on tribes, using Himachal Pradesh's hydro-power projects as a case study. These projects have negatively affected tribal societies, ecology, and economics. Understanding PESA's functioning is vital to uphold constitutional goals for marginalized communities. This book appeals to academics, policymakers, and anyone concerned with tribal development.

India s population constitutes about 70 per cent of rural population and 8.6 per cent tribal population. Tribes are one of the most vulnerable sections of the Indian society requiring special policy framework to deal with their problems and issues. Present work is devoted to understand the tribes, their ethnographic situation and the steps taken at the different levels of the government to improve their situation. Panchayats Extension to the Scheduled Areas 1996 (PESA Act 1996) is a benchmark initiative on the lines of the 73rd Amendment of the Indian Constitution. It is important to understand the tribal situation after the implementation of New Economic Policy 1991 and the enactment of the PESA Act 1996. Liberalisation provided the space to the corporates to intervene in the tribal areas for the development purposes. On the other hand PESA empowered the tribes to have effective voice in deciding their fate and managing their resources. The authors have critically analysed both these processes and highlighted their impact on the tribes. Empirical study was conducted in the tribal areas of Himachal Pradesh where hydro-power projects in the tribal areas have become common phenomenon. These activities maligned the tribal societies and affected the natural ecology and disturbed their economic patterns. In this light, it is imperative to understand the functioning of PESA Act 1996 to do justice with the constitutional goals concerning the marginalized in the society. The book will not only interest academicians and policy makers, but will be of use to all within and outside the tribal communities who are sensitive towards tribal development.
