A. Study Background:

The state of Odisha occupies a unique position in the Tribal map of India for having the largest

variety of Scheduled Tribe Communities. This state is the homeland of 62 different tribal

communities numbering 95,90,756 as per 2011 Census, next to the state of Madhya Pradesh and

Maharastra.

The tribal people of Odisha express their cultural identity and distinctiveness in their social

organization, language, demography, rituals and festivals and also in their dress, ornaments, art,

crafts and other folk traditions. Each tribal community has distinctive characteristic features

reflected in their social, economic, political and religious systems. Each possesses its own unique

culture which differentiates one from the other.

One of the key objectives of setting up TRI of Odisha is to undertake ethnographic research

studies on different ST and SC Communities and their documentation since its inception in 1952.

This is being met through undertaking of Monographic/ Ethnographic Studies for documentation

of culture, customs, traditions, material culture, art and craft, traditional medicine, culture change

and modernization of the STs and SCs. The SCSTRTI, since 2007, has been undertaking

ethnographic studies on different tribal communities of the State and publishing illustrated short

monographs on the PVTGs and other tribes of Odisha. Till date, SCSTRTI has published such

ethnographic literatures on all the 13 PVTGs and 37 other tribal communities of Odisha.

In this background, during the current year, SCSTRTI has taken up ethnographic studies on 10

tribes and intends to publish literatures on them. These tribes are (1) BAIGA, (2) BATHUDI, (3)

BHUYAN, (4) BHUNJIA, (5) KOL-LOHARAS, (6) KORUA, (7) KORA, (8) KOTIA, (9) KHARWAR

and (10) HOLVA.

Santal, Munda, Bhumij, Kolha, Kharia, Mankirdia, Juang,

Saora, Koya, Kisan, Dharua, Oraon, Bhuyan, Gadaba,

Position title Documentation Specialist- 01

Data Analyst -01

C. Study Background:

Traditional healthcare systems and traditional medicine are time tested, popular, effective,

legitimate, acknowledged, authentic, comprehensive, cheap, affordable and universally accepted

system of treatment. Though traditional medicine principally depend on plant and animal

material based medicines, yet they justify to be assured treatment methods in non-surgical mode

and it cures ailments. The origin of several systems of traditional medicine may be traced back to

folk practices which are practiced and passed down from generation to generation. Above all,

traditional medicines and related systems are valuable human heritage for welfare of major rural

and tribal population. They are best suited to local conditions, economy, culture and social

practices.

Traditional medicine is defined as ‘that whole, which includes holistic knowledge and practices,

oral and written, functioned in diagnosis, prevention and curative aspects of illness and disease to

promote total well-being, confide explicitly or implicitly on practical experiences and

observations or know-how techniques with or without regional cultures having overtone of

religion or not (Reddy, 1986). Further, Dunn (1977) defined a medical system as ‘the patterns of

social institutions that evolve from deliberate behavior to enhance health, with regards to its

traditional medical system is a collection of know how phenomena of diagnosis and cure’.

The oral and written traditional systems of medicine are based on transmission of knowledge,

whether oral or written. Empirical knowledge of tribals, in general, is transmitted through verbal

means and folklore from generation to generation. Like other systems of medicine, tribal

medicine has curative &preventive aspects with the application of herbs, animal products and

minerals. Their use of medicine is sometimes rudimentary, sometimes very specialized, in certain

cases they believe in astrological herbalism and in several cases, they take to magic, mysticism,

religious performances with or without execution of a sacrifice. The concept of disease and

treatment in a tribal society is unique, sometimes simple to understand and sometimes too

complex to interpret.

Traditional medicine is value based, no matter how diverse it is in differential social setting and

cultural contexts. There are growth-positive, growth-negative and growth-neutral values in every

society associated with traditional health care. Such knowledge systems would contribute

immensely in the integration and synthesis with any other recognized system of medicine as well

help preservation and conservation of a great diversity of important flora. As long as folk uses of

the plants continue to be there, be it for medicine or food or for material and religious culture

people would continue to care and conserve such species from extinction.

In this context, studies conducted in past and the documentation of traditional medicine stand as

repository of tribal traditional healthcare systems and prove to be invaluable knowledge systems.

Attempts may be made to collect, collate and disseminate such knowledge and information for

larger implications in coming days. Hence, the preparation of a compendium on Traditional

Tribal Medicine based on previous studies which are sporadic and disintegrated over time would

be an appropriate step towards preservation of the knowledge systems for future implications.

Objectives:

To collect, collate, compile and comprehend the studies conducted on Traditional Tribal

Medicine of various tribal communities in Odisha

To understand tribal people’s perception of diseases, their indigenous typology and attributed

causes of sickness and health deterioration

To preserve the knowledge base of the traditional healers vis-à-vis the sources of medicine,

process of their preparation, prescription, their application and effectiveness.

To prepare a community wise inventory of indigenous medicines & healing practices.

To analyze the importance of magico- religious practices associated in healing, process of their

transmission from the healers to their disciples and their importance in tribal context.

Title of the Project Impact of FRA in the life and livelihood of Women

headed households including Widows : State initiative,

Success Story, Issues & way forward





Data Analyst -01

E. Study Background:

The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act

came into force from 2nd

January 2007. The Act provisioned a bundle of rights to be enjoyed by

a claimant family who have been traditionally utilizing patches of forest land for bonafide use,

over a defined patch of land classified as forests in government records till date. Over the years,

since the implementation of FRA has been expedited in Odisha, in general, it is observed that

priority attention has been provided for settlement of Individual Forest Rights (IFR) compared to

the two other provisions such as Community Forest Rights (CFR) and Habitat Rights of

Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG). The law provides for restitution and recognition of

forest rights across the country including individual rights to cultivated land in forest areas as well

as collective rights to conserve, manage, control and use forests as common property. The intent

of the Act as enunciated in the preamble is to : correct historical injustice by recognizing forest

rights on ancestral lands and the habitats of forest dwelling scheduled tribes and other traditional

forest dwellers; address the long standing insecurity of tenurial and access rights; and promote

and enable sustainable use of forest resources, conservation of biodiversity and maintenance of

ecological balance.

It seems that larger attention has been provided to IFR in order to help individual families going

for better and sustainable land use practices with a sense of ownership and thereby accelerate

economic development at the household level. Further, as a later course of action the State

Government and the Central Government have been expediting several community oriented as

well as beneficiary oriented welfare and entitlement schemes and programs in the larger interest

of the people who have accessed their entitlements under FRA. Furthering the State’s

commitment for betterment of the FRA beneficiaries, convergence of schemes and programs has

been prioritized. In the context of the IFR claimants, NREGA, NRLM, Watershed development

programs have been considered important for better and productive land use, enhancement of

yield, micro enterprise and market access, etc. Land being the most important asset for the tribal

people, public investments on the inalienable land allocated to the FRA beneficiaries is very

meaningful in the context of their food security, economic empowerment and development.

A review of the IFR titles provided to claimants shows that there are many women headed

households who have been sanctioned with titles. However, no study or report has attempted to

examine the impact of FRA on the life and livelihoods of women headed households including

the widows. Their status in terms of entitlement over forest land which they had been cultivating

since years but had no tenurial rights, the independence in options that they have for land use

changes, the changes in the income generation patterns from such lands, their access to

entitlements under other government schemes, and above all the new challenges that have come

up with the granting of IFR. In this context, it will be relevant to conduct a study on the impact

of FRA on life and livelihood of women headed households covering the development initiatives

of the state, the success stories so far, the persistent issues and emerging challenges. The study

may bring about comprehensive scenario on the previous land use and current land use of the

IFR lands, the change in household economy, the development interventions and the gaps, the

issues and challenges towards meeting the objectives of FRA, and on the basis of the observation

and analysis certain suggestions may be arrived at.

Objectives of the study:

To understand the extent to which the FRA has been able to impact the life and livelihoods

of women headed households especially in the context of recognition and assertion of

women’s rights to forest resources, livelihood security and participation in forest governance

and decision-making.

To examine the impact of various welfare and beneficiary oriented schemes, development

programs intended towards livelihood enhancement through productive land use of FRA

lands

To assess the current status and challenges to rights recognition for women under FRA and

identify areas for policy advocacy

To document best practices, relevant issues, emerging challenges towards the goal and

objective of FRA.

Title of the Project Mapping Exercise of all the Archaeological Sites(Identified

and Potential) in the TSP Areas of the State.



Position title Senior Consultant - 01

GIS Expert (Archaeology) -01


G. Study Background:

Ethno-Archaeology has assumed great relevance for Anthropological research worldwide,

especially in Countries where ethnic communities reside. But it is a pity that, what to speak of

Ethno Archaeological studies, even the listing of Archaeological Sites are yet to be done in

any state of the Country in a systematic manner scientifically. Keeping this in view, SCSTRTI,

Odisha proposes to undertake an exercise which will be first of its kind in the entire Country

on the subject with the following objectives and specific deliverables:

Directory of Archaeological Sites and remains in Tribal Sub Plan areas of Odisha

Prepare an Archaeological Atlas for the TSP Area on GIS platform (Both in digital and

print format)

Report on Ethnographic Culture with Archaeological remains in Odisha to the extent

available

Expected Outcomes: The following will be the expected outcomes of the project/exercise:

Identify the potential Archaeological sites for further investigation

Develop problem oriented investigations where one can see or identify the cultural

continuity back and forth from Archaeological past to ethnographic present

Develop certain Archaeological sites as tourist places in future

Attempt will be made to link the Archaeological past with certain ethnographic

communities wherever possible with the intention to make the tribal communities feel

proud of their past heritage, thereby get motivated to act as a stakeholders to protect and

preserve their local Archaeological heritage.

Title of the Project Mapping Exercise of all the Major Tribal Migrant Pockets

(Source and Destinations) and Issues of Tribal Migrants



Position title Senior Consultant - 01

GIS Consultant (Part-time) -01


Data Analyst -01

I. Study Background:

Tribal migration all over the Country is a critical area of concern and Odisha is no exception to

this. The population of tribal communities in Odisha make 22.85% of the State’s population. The

tribal communities are distributed in more than 25000 villages and majority of their population

are found in 119 Tribal Development Blocks of the State. There are many villages from which

tribal migration is taking places. While migration from certain places are due to lack of job

opportunities available at source villages, there are also other extraneous factors which are

responsible for large scale tribal migration from tribal pockets. Realizing the gravity of situation it

is important to scan all the major tribal pockets from which migration is taking place in large

numbers.

In this mapping exercise, tribal areas from where migration is taking place in large numbers will

be identified and mapped and places to which the tribals are migrating will also be identified and

mapped. The push and pull factors responsible for the tribal migration needs to be captured and

reported in proper manner. The conditions that compel the tribals for out migration shall be

documented properly. That apart, the scenario of the living conditions of the tribals at sample

destination locations shall also be studied.

This report will give an overview of the tribal migration in the State of Odisha and their status in

sample destination locations on the basis of which some ameliorative measures as felt required by

the Government can be suggested. The findings of the study shall also be interpreted on GIS

platform for better analysis and database.

Title of the Project Evaluation of Functioning of Ashram Schools(20 Schools

to be selected on sampling basis) in the State.





Data Analyst -01

M. Study Background:

There are more than 800 ASHRAM SCHOOLS functioning in the State of Odisha under the ST &

SC Development Department. All the tribal children studying in these schools are provided hostel

accommodation and the schools are thus, residential in nature. The very intention of these

residential schools meant for the tribal is to provide residential mode of education so that the

large scale drop out can be arrested and quality education under close monitoring will be

provided for better learning achievement amongst these sections of children.

It is essential to undertake evaluation of the effectiveness in functioning of these schools on a

regular basis so that the findings will help as inputs for the Government to take remedial

measures for more effective functioning. Some time back in 1990’s, SCSTRTI had undertaken an

evaluation study. Now, it proposes to undertake an evaluation study of the functioning of the

ASHRAM SCHOOLS in 20 sample schools to be chosen in a manner so that the State scenario can

be comprehensively reflected.
