    (International Agri-Business Management Institute Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2020) Abhishek Mishra; Dr. Ashish Mahera
    Odisha is inhabited by 62 tribes with constituting 22.43 per cent of the total State population. The livelihood strategies of households are determined mostly by their social, demographic, economic and cultural settings. Tribal economy is affected by poverty of the physical environment, ignorance of efficient technique of exploiting natural resources and lack of capital for investment, therefore, lack of food security is a major problem for them. As the socio-economic improvement of the tribal still remains in question in spite of implementation of many developmental projects, the sustainable rural livelihood approach is being adopted to mitigate problems related to development in the region. Investigation on tribal livelihoods necessitates examination of socio-economic settings, livelihoods options, their aspirations and constraints to get livelihood.
