बिरहोर (गिरिडीह)

   
     
   

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.
