Key demand of the question:
Discuss the conditions of Tribal Women in India; also bring out the efforts of the government to improve their conditions.

Structure of the answer:
Introduction:
Tribal women are among the most vulnerable people in India. They are faced with a double discrimination of being tribal and being women within the tribal households.

To start with, state facts that justify the dismal condition of tribal women in the country. Basic amenities are completely absent from tribal settlements. Absence of electricity and basic sanitation facilities impacts the women the most. Only 15.2 per cent of ST households have drinking water which further spells out the burden on the women. Discuss different dimensions like education, availability of rights on lands, lack of legal safeguards, low human resource development etc. Discuss policy measures of the governments from past to present in this direction.
Conclusion:
Conclude with what needs to be done to better their conditions and mainstream them inclusively in the agenda of growth and overall development.
