Survey on Migration and Ownership of Land by Non-Tribals in Trible Areas: NSS 44th Round, Schedule 29.3, July 1988 - June 1989Study Type
Socio-Economic/Household Survey
Series Information
For the purpose of this enquiry, “tribal population” means the members of the Scheduled Tribes declared under the Article 342 of the Constitution of India. They are known to be the descendan6ts of the earliest inhabitants of our country (hence called Adivasis”). At present, in most parts of India, they form one of the economically weakest sections of the society. So far there has not been any systematic study of their living conditions covering the whole country. Whatever data are available are derived from the decennial censuses, apart from some micro studies carried out by social anthropologists. In the NSS the tribal population have always been covered as part of the general population. Separate tables have also been prepared for the scheduled tribe and schedules caste populations in some of these programmes of those rounds were drawn up with the general population in view and so far there had been no enquiry with its focus on the tribal population. In NSS 32nd and 33rd rounds special surveys had been carried out through an integrated schedule (schedule 16.4) in the North-Eastern region. The survey was conducted in the rural areas of the following States:- 32nd round : Arunachal Pradesh, Assam (N. Cachar and Karbi Anglong districts only), Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura; 33rd round : In addition to the above States, Mizoram also. Even though this covered many aspects specially related to the life of the people of this region (who are mostly tribals), no such survey has so far been undertaken about the life of the tribals living in the main tribal belt stretching from West Bengal through Bihar, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh to Gujarat and Rajasthan.ID Number DDI-IND-MOSPI-NSSO-44Rnd-Sch29dot3-1988-89 |

Abstract
In pursuance of the recommendations made by the Governing Council (G.C.) of the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) in its 44th meeting held on 16 January 1987 to undertake a comprehensive survey on the socio-economic conditions of the tribal people in the 44th round (July 1988 - June 1989) of NSS, various schedules of enquiries on the subject were drawn up and tested in the field through a try-out survey. The schedules were discussed in details in the meetings of the Working Groups (W.G) set up by the G.C., NSSO for the NSS 44th round. In the light of the experiences gained through the try-out survey, the schedules of enquiry were finalized by the W.G. and subsequently approved by the G.C. of the NSSO in its 45th meeting held on 29 December 1987.
Wwith a view to studying the problems of land alienation faced by the tribal population due to in-migration of non-tribals in the tribal areas and also to assess the differences in the socio-economic standard of living between the tribals and the non-tribals, a schedule of enquiry (schedule type 29.3) was designed and collected information from the non-tribal households residing in the tribal areas.

Scope
Notes
In order to measure the disparity between the tribal and non-tribal households in respect of certain key characteristics and also the extent of displacement of the tribal population from the tribal belts due in-migration of non-tribals, schedule 29.3 was designed to collect information form the non-tribal households residing in the tribal areas. Thus this schedule was canvassed only in the rural sector in the villages of general and special samples falling under stratum type 1 (tribal concentrated stratum).
The particulars collected through this schedule related to in-migration, economic activity, assets and liabilities along with the details about the extent and manner of acquisition and disposal of land by the non-tribals.
