This study looked at changes in household income and employment trends as well as the impact of TRIFED (Tribal Co-operative Marketing Development Federation of India), a group whose main goal is to improve the economic status of the nation's scheduled tribes by marketing the products that sustain them. The study examines 190 households in the Tiruvannamalai District of Tamil Nadu using Purposive Sampling methods. The impact of TRIFED will be most noticeable in the areas of asset creation, employment creation, and income generation. It was discovered that, regardless of caste, gender, or social class, TRIFED covered all poor tribal society segments. It was also noted that this organization increases household income and savings.
