Abstract
Livelihood security is a state wherein people get sufficient and credible access to income and capital to meet the dynamic needs for a better lifestyle. The study was conducted in Chandel district of Manipur state during 2021-2022 to analyze the livelihood systems and livelihood security of tribal families. A total of 120 respondents were randomly selected. Personal interview method was used to collect the data and appropriate statistical tools were applied to analyze the data. The findings revealed that
more than two-fifth (41.67 %) of the tribal families predominantly follow handloomweaving as their livelihood systems followed by (33.34 %) handicraft, (16.66 %) piggery and (8.33 %) crop production. It was also found that two-fifth (40.00 %) of them belonged to average livelihood security followed by (31.67 %) poor livelihood security and (28.33 %) good livelihood security. Variables such as land holding, social participation and achievement motivation were found to be positively significant with livelihood security at 1% level. Also, variables like age, annual income, extension contact were found to be positively significant and ethnocentrism was found to be negatively significant with livelihood security at 5% level.
