The study was conducted in Southern Rajasthan. Three district viz. Dungarpur, Udaipur and Banswara were selected on the basis of highest concentration of tribal population. Two panchayat samities were randomly selected from each district. Thus, there were total six panchayat samities selected. After selecting the panchayat samities two villages from each panchayat samiti were selected randomly. Thus, there were total 12 villages were selected. For selection of the sample, a village wise list of tribal families was prepared with the help of gram panchayat officials. From the list, 30 families from each village were selected randomly. From each family, one active woman was included in the sample. Thus, there were 120 tribal women from each district constituting a sample of 360 tribal women from the three selected districts. Interview schedule were used to collect data. Frequency, percentage, mean percent scores and chi square test were used to analyze the data. Findings regarding socio-economic status of the respondents reveal that majority of the respondents (81.66%) were from low socio-economic status whereas 18.33 per cent of the respondents had medium and none of the respondents belonged to high socio economic status. Regarding livelihood pattern among tribal women it was found that crop based livelihood was accounted as the primary source of income for half of the respondents. It was followed by wage based (14.16%), forest based (11.94%) and animal husbandry based livelihood (8.61%). Some of the respondents had poultry based (6.38%), business based (6.38%) and horticulture based livelihood activities (2.50%). Animal husbandry was the secondary source of income to 19.61 per cent respondents followed by horticulture based livelihood (18.88%), wage based (16.38%) and forest based (9.99 %). Poultry and business were practiced by only 2.49 and 0.54 per cent respondents respectively as secondary means of livelihood. Regarding role of tribal women in different livelihood activities, highest participation of tribal women in poultry based livelihood was observed at I rank followed by animal husbandry (Rank II), forest based livelihood activity (Rank III), horticulture (IV) and crop based livelihood activities (Rank V). Participation of tribal women in wage based livelihood activities was ranked VI followed by business at last rank. Regarding factor affecting livelihood security of the family, highly significant association was found between all the factors and livelihood security of the respondents. It can be inferred from the findings of the study that the livelihood security of the respondents was affected by the factors such as access to resources, access to technological information, market facility and economic sources, risk factors, risk taking ability and decision making ability. Major constraints expressed by the respondents in different livelihood activities were lack of education, lack of knowledge regarding latest technology, fluctuating demand of the products in market and distance of market for selling product, poor storage facility, difficult loan procedures and high rates of interest on loans. | en_US |
