India is a developing country among many other world countries. Indeed there is every need for the research to survey the under developed areas in the district in depth socially, economically and politically of the deprived and dehumanized sections of people in the district. India is a welfare state. It is a country having multi languages, races, castes and creeds and cultures. The struggle for independence of India lasted until 15th August, 1947. But the attaining of independence was not an end itself. The provisions of the constitution came into force on 26th January 1950. Fundamental rights are essential and guaranteed to protect the rights and liberties of the people. The fundamental rights are most essential for the attainment by the individual or for his full intellectual moral and spiritual status. Independence brought many promises and dreams for the people in India- the dreams of an egalitarian, just and democratic society in which men and women would have an equal voice. In practice, the reality is some what different. Many policies, plans and programmers are aimed at ensuring main streaming the weaker sections in all developmental processes. We are aware of the reality. The poor is becoming poorer and the rich is becoming richer. The weaker sections particularly, the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in rural areas and in urban areas are not is a position to receive the fruits of the policies which are designed for the upliftment of them due to some set backs or hurdles and or lacunas in the implementation part. The governments, even after a span of 60 years of independence have miserably failed to provide the minimum basic necessities like food, clothing and shelter to its people. There is no sincerity it seems, on the part of the government to implement wholeheartedly or committed by the provisions of the constitution. Due to lack of educational facilities many people are remained as illiterates and due to illiteracy, the rural people are unaware the economic policies and legal safeguards . As such, majority of the weaker section people in rural have remained under below poverty line (BPL). To alleviate or eradicate poverty, the government had been launching poverty alleviation programmers in all five year plans. But the results are not up to the mark and are dissatisfactory. If we observe the urban areas, the so called civilized centers, majority of the people belonging to weaker sections are far from the facilities that are being provided by the municipalities. Every day in news papers, televisions and other media across the country, we have been witnessing the uproar of protests, dharma’s, rallies, agitations by the weaker sections of the society against the government for want of basic needs or amenities like drinking water, sanitation, electricity and so on.
