Abstract

The Rabha community of Assam, which has been culturally a farming and forest-based community, is one of the most backward scheduled tribe communities in the state. It is assessed that lack of education, lack of access to standard health facilities and widespread poverty have ensnared the tribe to a low standard of living. The present work tries to study the socio-economic status of the Rabha community and measure the human development status of the community by way of constructing a community-specific disaggregated Human Development Index.
