Abstract
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.
