Abstract: In a developing country like India, it is not rare to see industries and individuals attempt to take advantage of the rich resources that are found in the forest and tribal land. Various underdeveloped Tribes form 8.2% of the total population. For the tribal population in India the land is one of the most important resources of income. They are completely dependent on the forest cover for their survival.
But now in the changing times, working with a single track mind is not going to be beneficial for both the tribal as well as the economy. Tribal entrepreneurship is an important component to go on diverse ways for development of human entrepreneurship and how tribal women contribute extensively in conserving India’s biodiversity. Tribals’ products are now superseding the industrial products in terms of quality and sustainability. Like the handicraft industry of north east in majorly in hand of tribal people, their natural products in markets and herbal medicines sometimes are far more effective then the chemicals. The government is taking up numerous efforts to promote and market tribal products and, give new energy and publicise this new emerging industry of swadeshi products. To support their initiatives government has also come up with many action plans like Going Online As Leaders (GOAL), tech for tribals, TRIFED and many more.
