Abstract
The paper is based on Secondary sources census, NSS data and the published research reports and articles. It briefly outlines the status of tribals in the Jharkhand region of Bihar. It discusses the demographic characteristics, literacy, education and health status of tribals in the region. It also describes in brief economic features and living conditions. It points out that the tribal groups are very heterogeneous and are at different levels of development and areas to resources. It argues that despite the guarantees enshrined in the Constitution of India, the tribals have lowest health, education and income status and except for a minority population, the development process initiated in the post Independence period has almost bypassed them. It also indicates the implication of the demographic feature for development intervention.
