India is a rapidly developing nation, but patriarchal relationships and traditional values remain pervasive. Women in urban areas are becoming educated and urbanised, but tribal women remain steeped in tradition and have lower socioeconomic achievements than men. Gender-based violence and discrimination are major issues faced by women in India, with cases of rape, domestic violence, and female infanticide still prevalent. The position of women in a society was frequently determined by their income, employment, education, health, and fertility, in addition to their roles within the family, community, and society. Nonetheless, the study of tribal women is crucial due to the fact that their problems vary by region due to their geographical location, historical context, and social change processes. The present paper focuses on socio-economic and the health status of tribal women in paderu mandal of Vishakhapatnam district in Andhra Pradesh. It is found that there is a need for targeted interventions to improve the health outcomes of vulnerable populations, particularly those with lower incomes and who rely on traditional cooking fuels. These interventions could include access to clean energy sources and targeted health education campaigns, which can reduce exposure to indoor air pollution.
