This study examines the socio-economic development of the Birhor tribal communities in Bilaspur District. The Birhor tribe is one of the indigenous tribes residing in the region, facing various socio-economic challenges. The study aims to understand the current conditions of the Birhor communities and identify the factors influencing their development. Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through surveys, interviews, and secondary sources. The study analyzes the socio-economic indicators such as education, healthcare, income, employment, and infrastructure development. It also explores the cultural and social aspects that impact the Birhor communities' well-being. The findings highlight several key issues faced by the Birhor tribal communities, including limited access to education and healthcare facilities, high levels of poverty, and lack of employment opportunities. Additionally, inadequate infrastructure development and the erosion of traditional cultural practices further hinder their socio-economic progress. Based on the analysis, the study proposes recommendations for enhancing the socio-economic development of the Birhor communities. These recommendations include improving access to quality education and healthcare services, promoting skill development and income-generating activities, strengthening social and cultural preservation efforts, and enhancing infrastructure development in the region.
