Online Published on 12 September, 2022. Abstract Tribal population refers to India’s indigenous people who have been living a life based on the natural environment and have cultural patterns that are compatible with their physical and social surroundings. Tribes are the deprived sections of the country struggling hard for their survival and development. Tribes are isolated from other societies with cultural homogeneity and simple life. The central and state governments have implemented several tribal development schemes throughout the country for the welfare of the tribes. But whether the tribes have felt the real benefits of these schemes is a big question. Therefore an attempt has been made in this paper to analyze the impact of different government development programmes on the livelihood of tribal households of Kinnaur district, Himachal Pradesh. Primary data were collected based on multistage random sampling from 120 households to test the significant impact of different government development programmes. The results of the study showed that among all the government sponsored schemes, the schemes which had significant impact on livelihood of sample households were Watershed Development Programmes (IWDP/IWMP), Desert Development Programme (DDP), Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP), National Family Benefit Scheme (NFBS) and Indira Awaas Yojna (IAY). Therefore the tribal people should be made more aware of these schemes in order to accomplish their overall growth. Top Keywords Tribal households, Livelihood, Government programmes. Top | | | |
