Jharkhand comes under the fifth schedule area as it is a tribal dominated state. The criterion followed for specification of a community as scheduled tribes are indication of primitive traits, distinctive culture, geographical isolation and shyness of contact with community at large. This criterion is not spelt out in the constitution but has become well established. The tribal people are known to be attached with their land, soil and environment as agriculture is their main occupation. They do not cultivate for profit but for their livelihood. But today, one finds that agriculture produce is not enough to sustain their livelihood too as the quality of agricultural land is degrading day by day. They have to migrate to other cities to earn their living as the terrain of Jharkhand is undulating with lack of vegetative cover coupled with high intensity rainfall leading to severe soil erosion. Widespread deforestation, lack of irrigation facility and continuance of traditional system of agriculture has further resulted in agriculture being no more a profitable job. Migration not only separates the family members but it also leads to the erosion of once own identity and culture. There are several provision in the constitution which ensures preservation of tribal culture and identity but this could be successful only when tribes are not forced to leave their land either because of the development initiative of the government or because of certain natural calamities. The development should be such which ensures inclusive growth, that is, economic development of the tribes along with the preservation of their identity and culture. NABARD has been successful in addressing the migration problem of the tribal people of Jharkhand. The tribal development fund of NABARD which is allocated only in those areas where tribal population is 70% and above is converged with MLALAD and MESO which provide additional resource for the upliftment of tribal community like giving them bee keeping training and knitting shawl, providing leaf let machine. Solar panel has also been planted to provide electricity to the households. Many ponds, check dams, irrigation well, lift irrigation, land levelling and water conservation programme has been done through this convergence programme.
