Abstract

Majority of the Indian tribals are deteriorated primarily from poverty and downtrodden. Tangled in savage sequences of poverty and social exclusion, tribals regularly battle for survival as prospects to gain access to knowledge, resources, and essential services avoid them. The present paper in the framework of livelihoods and food security impacts socio-economic conditions of tribals. In this approach, the paper also includes the critical point of tribal’s right to food from the perspective of its availability, accessibility, adequacy, and affordability an area which is yet an obscure daydream.

Keywords: Poverty; social exclusion; survival; livelihoods; food security; daydream
