This book is based on an evaluation study of the implementation of Tribal Sub-Plan Schemes in Maharashtra State. The study concentrates on an area which is inhabited by a primitive tribe and many parts of the area are inaccessible even after years of development efforts. The study traces the historical growth of the tribal development and administration and covers the latest instruments like the Special Action Plan. Development schemes have been empirically studied in an inclusive manner and the purported tribal beneficiaries covered to find out the factual position in a pragmatic manner. The bungling of schemes and funds has been mercilessly exposed and corrective measures suggested. This study recommends some through-going changes in the administrative organisation for tribal development. The factor of tribal culture has also been considered vis-à-vis development, thus discussing the nexus between cultural change and development. A perspective view considering the direction of development efforts during the 8th Plan period also appears in the book. The book is useful for development planners and administrators, scholars, tribal leaders, and all those who have a penchant for tribal development
