Abstract
Development is a multi-dimensional phenomenon. It includes some variables like the level of economic growth, level of education, level of health services, degree of modernization, status of women, level of nutrition, quality of housing, distribution of goods and services and access to communication, etc. Development of tribal livelihood is not uniform among the five tribes in Manbazar-II block because they have primitive traits, geographical isolation, and distinct culture, economic backwardness, and as well as of their limited engagement on different functional activities. It has been examined with mentioned variables regarding some selected developmental indices. Disparity has been found within them. Overall development will be increased through improvement of common minimum needs and their awareness. And also true development requires Government action especially for women. Role of social development such as literacy (particularly female literacy) in promoting basic capabilities emerges as the prerequisite to overall development.
