Abstract
Tribals are known to be the autochthonous people of the land. A group of people, often of related families, who live together, sharing the same language, culture, and history, especially those who do not live in towns or cities. In the present study an attempt has been made to study the “Employment, Income and Expenditure Pattern of Tribal in Gadchiroli District”. On the basis of population of tribal people, two taluka i.e. Dhanora and Korchi from Gadchiroli district was selected adjoining to the forest area. Three villages from each taluka were selected randomly i.e. total six villages adjoin to the forest area. Functional analysis were carried out to know the employment pattern of selected tribals, income generated from different sources by the selected tribals, expenditure pattern of selected households and factors influencing employment, income and expenditure of selected samples, by using the multiple linear regression equations. From the present study it was concluded that, tribals have low standard of living, illiteracy and education upto primary level, low capital investment in productive asset was seen amongst the tribal families. The tribals households had mostly the poor quality lands and absence of quality facilities and hence, they are diverted towards other works as under MGNREGA. The period of idle days during the year intersect the tribal worker of per family member average work day for farm tribals were 139 days. The major sources of income from crop production, wages of human labour, livestock, business and services and sale of forest produce viz., the average income of family worked out to the tribals were Rs. 140892.48 at the overall level. The accrued income was not enough to meet the family expenditure which ultimately created a deficit in the family budget. There exists a scope to increase an average annual gross family income with an increase in gross cropped area, number of earners and expenditure on crop and livestock activities. The proportion of expenditure on food item was to the extent of sixty family for tribal was Rs. 6139046 per year with average of Rs. 102317.43 of the consumption expenditure. The major items of food were cereals followed by pulses, vegetables, meat, oil and milk etc. Consumption expenditure of tribals was found to be significantly influenced by the annual gross family income and family size of the sample tribal household.
