Tribal communities in India are economically and socially backward and mostly live in forests and hilly terrains isolated from the other elite communities. They have their own lifestyle and different socio-cultural, demographic and eco-geographical settings. Lack of proper education and health facilities, faulty feeding habits, certain irrational belief systems and special tribal chores are likely to aggravate their health and nutritional status. Education and health both are most important element in the development of any community. Education plays an important role for the upbringing of human resources in all over the world especially for the marginalized population. Education and health are the two major factors that influence much to the economic development of any community.
