Abstract

Development is a multi-dimensional phenomenon. Some of its major dimensions include - the level of economic growth, level of education, level of health services, degree of modernisation, status of women, level of nutrition, quality of housing, distribution of goods and services, and access to transportation and communication. In Arunachal Pradesh, the progress of socio-economic development among tribal population is not uniform. Development has both positive and negative implications on society and people. In this framework, the present paper examines the socio-economic development processes of Nyishis, numerically largest tribe, inhabiting in five districts of Arunachal Pradesh. It tries to look at the role of factionalism and faction politics in the implementation of development interventions in Nyishi tribal village, called Hiya. It also focuses on the type of change that they have experienced with the implementation of different schemes by both Governmental and Non-governmental agencies.
