“…Up-scaling of eco-technologies could help address the issues associated with shifting agriculture, which are gradually becoming untenable under pressure from a number of factors and besieged with conflicting views with regard to degradation/conservation of the ecosystem. Considering the social and economic dependency of the ethnic communities on this agro-ecosystem that integrates both material and non-material culture 36 , and the way of life for the upland communities of NE India, it is essential to make the practice ecologically and economically sustainable through simple and low-cost eco-technologies, which has been feasible in this case. Further, it is important to note that given the uniqueness of the shifting cultivation system, because of a combination of sociocultural-legal and bio-physical characteristics of the locality, although replication of one model may not be appropriate to all localities, simple, low-cost ecotechnologies have the potential to be replicated and adapted.…”

“…The Government of India is striving to implement various policies exclusively meant for tribal people from time to time. However, expected goals have not been achieved and differing socio-economic and demographic developments are still found in tribal communities (Samal et al , 2000). The sustainable indigenous agro-ecosystems of India, a majority of which are tarnished or damaged, need protection (Das and Mishra, 2001).…”

Purpose The present paper is an attempt to understand the various concepts related to financial literacy. For the development of this paper, secondary data have been considered by visiting various sources of information. The reviews are made on four parameters, which include social exclusion among tribes, government initiatives for tribal development, socio-economic condition of tribes and impact of financial literacy on the lives of tribes. The purpose of this paper is to identify the variables and to undertake an empirical research on this topic. It is found that excluded from income-generating activities, formal education, political system are not getting adequate exposure for maintaining the standard of living. Mostly, the changing economic scenario of consumers, discrimination of wage and employment, lack of capital and financial literacy leads to the mismanagement of money. The financial products are the various causes of financial exclusion and need to be addressed through adequate financial literacy. Moreover, the study attempts to understand the various reasons of financial exclusion and to comprehend the empirical research on the topic as well. Design/methodology/approach The present paper is based on the secondary data. In this regard, various sources of information have been visited to collect the data. Findings The study finds that owing to exclusion from income-generating activities, lack of formal education, absence of patronage political in adequate means for maintaining an acceptable standard of living, caste discriminations, poverty and migration, exploitation in the hands of money lenders, marginal increase in income, absence of infrastructure, unemployment, lack of financial literacy and its resultant mismanagement of money among the tribal community has pushed them to the utter stage of poverty universally. Originality/value The paper can help administrators and the policymakers of different regions across the world to take appropriate measures to focus on educating the people on different financial products and to increase the accessibility. Moreover, the paper can help research scholars to build platform of their research banking upon the data presented in this study.

The currently existing three major options for power production in India and elsewhere are hydro, thermal, and nuclear. From the viewpoint of efficient production and low environmental cost, hydropower has become one of the most important clean sources of energy. India is endowed with enormous hydropower potential especially in the Himalayan region. Rainfall from southwest monsoon, northwest winter rains, and heavy snowfall in winter have been the primary sources of water potential in the region. The Indus, the Ganga, and the Brahmaputra, the three major drainage basins in the Himalaya, are huge sources for hydropower potential. Out of the total existing hydropower potential in India, 21% hydropower potential has been harnessed so far, 9.8% potential is under construction, and 69.8% potential is yet to be tapped.
