 INNOVATION IN TEACHING
Designed Optional Courses for M.A III and IV semester students
1) Politics of Tribal Development in India –Course No. 535:
The objective of this course is to introduce the students to the
collective life, struggles, movements and aspirations of the tribes
of India. Tribes form an important segment of the Indian society,
the population of which constitutes 8 per cent of the total Indian
population. Each of the tribes has developed its own social
organization, means of living and cultural identity. They did make
attempts to resist the domination of the British colonizers and, in
fact, the colonial administration had set up special institutions for
the governance of the tribes. The post-independent India has also
made special provisions for the welfare of tribes. The tribal leaders
have been inducted into the policy-making institutions. The
government has been consistently making efforts for the socio-
economic development and integration of the tribal population
with the mainstream. However, the tribal population has been
20
facing a plethora of problems in connection with the forest
policies, land alienation to non-tribes and so on, which at several
points of time spurred into movements and struggles in asserting
their rights and attracting the attention of the government. At times
there has been even violation of human rights. The tribes have also
been subjects of attraction by the Christina missionaries as well as
Naxalites that has caused significant change in the lives of the
tribes. Of late, globalization has also started affecting the tribes.
This course basically introduces the issues concerning tribes in
connection with the public policies and development.
• Prepared an extensive reading list of books and articles from
various sources for the above course.
• Apart from the conventional teaching, in order to make the
students more acquaintance with the social reality film
documentaries were also used in Tribal Politics in India.

Tribes form an important segment of the Indian society, the population of which constitutes 8 per cent of the total Indian population. Each of the tribes has developed its own social organization, means of living and cultural identity. They did make attempts to resist the domination of the British colonizers and, in fact, the colonial administration had set up special institutions for the governance of the tribes. The post-independent India has also made special provisions for the welfare of tribes. The tribal leaders have been inducted into the policy-making institutions. The government has been consistently making efforts for the socio- economic development and integration of the tribal population with the mainstream. However, the tribal population has been 20

At times there has been even violation of human rights. The tribes have also been subjects of attraction by the Christina missionaries as well as Naxalites that has caused significant change in the lives of the tribes. Of late, globalization has also started affecting the tribes. This course basically introduces the issues concerning tribes in connection with the public policies and development. • Prepared an extensive reading list of books and articles from various sources for the above course. • Apart from the conventional teaching, in order to make the students more acquaintance with the social reality film documentaries were also used in Tribal Politics in India.
