Abstract
According to 2011 census tribal people constitute 8.6% of total population of India i.e. about 104 million and are the largest population of tribal in the world. Indigenous people are mostly isolated, love to live in nature and are deprived of various developmental programmes implemented by Government which lead to low economic condition, less access to amenities, education and poor health. The present study will mainly focus on different factors responsible for health problems of tribal such as cultural, economic constraints, lack of awareness, unhygienic environment and nutritional deprivation. Different health problems such as communicable and non-communicable diseases, women health status, generic disorder, sexually transmitted diseases, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiency, mental health and addictions will also be discussed. According to WHO approximately 303 000 women and adolescent girls died as a result of pregnancy and childbirth-related complications in 2015. Again, the traditional health treatment practiced by them will also be highlighted from own research. And finally, utilization of different programmes and policies introduced by the central and state government for improvement of the overall quality of life of the tribal people will also be analyzed. This study is based on secondary data from different books, journals, reports and internet.
