Abstract
The difference between the development level of Tribal society/area, and
forward society/area, shows the need of development planning on territorial
basis. So for the present study seeks to focus on the holistic picture of level of
development attendedin Tribal Blocks of northern U.P. The study compares the
contemporary situation of Tharu prone Blocks with the average situation of
non-Tribal Blocks of selected Tharu prone districts. The present analysis
reflects that literacy level, female literacy, No. of school and colleges, land
utilization system, net irrigated area and facilities provided by Governments,
Number of distribution centers, facility of health transport and industries is
quite low in the Terai area in comparison to national and state ratio. In view of
planning and perspective on the basis of present study the backward Blocks
having higher Tribal population and low level of development so they should we
given first priority in the process of development. The communities living in
Tharu areas rather than Tharu, snatches the facilities and land from Tribal’s,
so Tribal peoples reveals in bottom, thus there is urgent need to generate inner
urge of development among Tharu.
