Abstract
The tribal societies are isolated society living in compact groups in the forest areas, Traditionally referred to as advises, tribes, or tribal’s, scheduled tribes (STs) constitute about 9% of India’s population, In Karnataka, there are 50 scheduled tribe communities living; out of these, the Koragas of Dakshina Kannada district and the JenuKurubas who are concentrated in the districts of Mysore, Chamarajnagar and Kodagu are classified as ‘primitive tribes’. More than one fifth of the population of the state belonged to scheduled caste (16.2) and scheduled tribes (6.6 percent) category (Census 2011). Over the years their share in the total population has increased. It is the only Schedule Tribes population in the state which preserve their traditional values and culture throughout the ages. They are primarily nomadic in character and moved from one place to another in search of pastures for their cattle. Due to seasonal migration they suffered a lot, it made a great impact on the education of their children, and they face health issue because of unavailability of health facilities, moreover, they lost their cattle during their journey due to bad weather or due to some unavoidable circumstance which shattered the economy of Dungri Garasiya. Different research works and findings reveal that the condition of Dungri Garasiya is not good as compare to other sections of the society. In this Research Paper, an attempt was made to understand the Social, Economic, and Political, condition of Tribal (Dungri Garasiya) in Karnataka. This Research paper also recommends some suggestions in order to resolve the issues or challenges faced by the tribal community of the state.
