BACKGROUND
After
independence, central as well as state governments have taken up special
programmes for the rehabilitation of primitive tribes having wandering
economy in the form of food collection, hunting and shifting
cultivation. Birhor is one of the primitive tribe groups living in the
districts of Hazaribagh, Giridih, Ranchi, Lohardaga, Palamu, Garhwa,
Dhanbad, and Singhbhum in Jharkhand State. The total population of Birhor tribe recorded in the census of
1991 is only 5000 which are
dwindling day by day. The dwindling population of Birhor tribe creates
serious concern for Government as the community is facing threats of
extinction. Birhors are way behind in almost all indicators of
development including education, poverty, nutrition, employment and
health. Government is running number of programmes for primitive tribes
but due to lack of awareness and understanding among Birhors and
coordination between different departments, Birhors are unable to get
optimum benefit of such programmes.
