dc.description.abstractEconomic growth with social Justice' or 'growth with equity’ has been the basic objective o f public policy in India since independence. It refers to a broad based strategy of_development with an emphasis on reduction of poverty. The extent to which the poor have actually benefited from the growth process has always been an issue of academic debate. The available data shows that the percentage o f paar in India had declined from 54.9pe.rcent in, 1973-74 23,6 percent In 2QQd (ftatlonal Sample Survey, 2004). But in a plural society , like India, with people o f different castes and religions, it is equally important to focus on ‘koriz.on.tai: inequalities', (i.e.) disparities between certain identifiable groups in the economy. In India, 'scheduled tribes' is a historically marginalized social gro.up. In 2004^05 the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes constituted 25.4 percent of the total population o f India (NSS,, 6 f Round). Among these two groups, while scheduled castes suffer from social stigma due to untouchability scheduled tribes have been characterized by their, primitive traits, distinct culture, geographical isolation and general backwardness. A,gainst this backdrop, the present study analyses t'ne prevalence o f poverty among the Panidns a primitive tribal groups in the Nilgiris district in Tamil Nadu.en_US
