A Geographical Study of Concentration of Tribal Population and Their Literacy in Akole Tahsil, District Ahmednagar (MS)

There are number of issues related to the tribal society. The tribal people are sandwiched between low level of human resource development and erosion of forest resources on which they are traditionally dependent. Therefore, it is necessary to find out strength and initiatives of these people and provide support for their survival and development. For this it is necessary to carry out detail study of the tribal society and geographical environment of their native villages. The present work attempts to adopt a geographical approach for understanding the land and people literacy in the tribal areas by selecting a tahsil of the district.
