Yamanoorappa V Talavar, Dr. Shashikala. D. J

Abstract :

<p>The tribes in general and tribal women in particular are facing many of the social problems due to illiteracy and< /> negligence in society. To assess the social problems and social changes made by tribal women a survey was conducted< /> using interviews of total 500 tribal women in Koppal district. It is highlighted that tribal women are educationally< /> backward and as such believe in social evil practices. Even they don&rsquo;t have managing and decision making authority in their families. Hence, it< /> is suggested to increase literacy and education among tribal women and also to organize awareness campaigns against social evil practices in< /> tribal society. </p>
