Certain positive developments due to the state’s initiative
Legislation to protect tribal rights & interests, activities of the tribal welfare departments, Panchayati Raj, and Tribal Advisory Councils in all states containing tribal areas to advise on matters concerning the welfare of tribals.
Spread of literacy and education, reservations in government services and Parliament, state assemblies, reservations in higher education institutions, and repeated elections have led to increasing confidence among the tribal people & greater political participation by them.
Even though there are some regions where the benefits of positive discrimination by the states have reached, certain tribal regions are still lagging behind. Protest movements have sprung up among tribals out of their frustration with the lack of development & welfare. Some of the protest movements have taken to violence, leading to strong state action against them.
