This volume offers an insight into the socio-economic profile of tribes in the states of Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. It looks into the various facets of the way of living of the tribes dwelling in these states. The effectiveness of tribal development projects in both the states have been analysed on several parameters including Work Participation Rate, literacy, housing and access to portable water, incidence of diseases and nature of employment, etc. It is commendable that Gujarat has fared better in terms of tribal development as a result of constant efforts of the state as well as central government policies. On the other hand Andhra Pradesh still lags far behind in the race. With the active participation of government, people and civil societies we dream of a new dawn for tribal people where they can march from Gloom to Glory with dignity.
