Impact of the developmental programmes among scheduled tribes: A study

Abstract

The present study is impact of the developmental programmes among scheduled tribes, confined to the Guntur district which can represent the State of Andhra Pradesh with three prominent regions of various levels of development and resources. The primary data used in this study is subject to certain limitations and the findings are based on the opinions and information given by the sample beneficiaries. Since the size of the sample is small and confined to rural areas of the district, the inferences drawn from this study may not equally be applicable to the rest of areas in the district as well as other districts of the state. However, the findings and suggestions may be useful for the policy makers for designing and implementing the programmes not only in other districts of the state but also in the country.
