Different agencies, organizations and institutions have geared to improve the quality of life of the tribes and to enhance the development of tribal regions. Advanced means and modes for development in infrastructure, services, facilities and provisions under socio-economic, cultural and administrative arenas have opened up the tribal areas in the contemporary decades and a number of non-tribals has come into contact with the tribal and contributed for the upgrade and acceleration of tribal economy. Under the influence of various changing agents as well as organizational and institutional moderators and modern forces and factors, Tribal communities have been experiencing with fewer signals and ways for transformation during recent days. As per literary surveys, it’s clear that the most important reasons for their inability to respond against the nonstop and numerous efforts of the government policies and changing agents responsible for both development and management may be due to their socio-cultural heterogeneity, poor level literacy and untouched situation in awareness, insufficient infrastructure and input supply and the uncaring attitude of the Tribal at broad-spectrum. Upgrading in the quality of life and levels of socio-economic conditions of Tribal livelihood are voiced to be justified in terms of internal and external factors. It’s also experimented that for very poor growth, stagnated development and crisis in progress tribal traditionalism is responsible for itself. In fact, their interior growth desires are very poor. Hence, it’s remarkable that all the factors behind tribal deprivation and social conflicts are activated as the process of cumulative causation resulting traditional backwardness. It is not a common belief, but familiar observation that the commissioned development models and programmes like ITDP, TSP, DTDP, etc. from the ends of institution have not shown any remarkable impact and change on the living conditions of the Tribal community. In this context the present study on Jantadumur village of Ranibandh CD Block of Bankura district in West Bengal, is attempted to assess the backwardness of tribal community instead of efforts and functioning of the Tribal Sub-Plan Schemes and other Tribal Community Development Programmes. The study puts the light on the factors affecting the action and implementation of various Tribal Sub Plan Schemes and other plan and programmes here. Further, the study would be helpful to analyze the constraints and prospects in increasing the pace of development of tribes so as to achieve the objective of integrating them in the national mainstream. Lastly, the study would be helpful to fill the research gaps in this field to some extent.
