3. TRIBAL COMMUNITY
A tribe is a group of people who live and work together in a
shared geographical area. A tribe has a common culture,
dialect, and religion. They also have a strong sense of unity.
The tribe is usually headed by a chief. A tribal society is a
group of tribes organized around kinships.

4. FEATURES OF TRIBAL SOCIETY
• The tribe inhabits and remains within definite and common
topography.
• The members of a tribe possess a mutual unity.
• The members of a tribe speak a common language
• Each tribe has the practice of marrying members within their own
tribes.

6. 1) Urgency
• The main motive of a social worker is to lend a helping hand towards the
less privileged section of the society, as per which, one of the main focus
point is the tribal people. They need our help urgently to think in a
broader aspect, for our country to prosper as a whole. The main
necessary items required to sustain a life is food.

7. 2) Economic and medical support
• The tribals are deprived of the lavish economic prosperity
that their nation does, since the passage of resource is
halted somewhere or the other. Such is the work of a social
worker who establishes this chain of communication via
interacting with them and in a way helping them to flourish.
Helping the poor by providing them with the basic
necessities of life is the importance of social workers.

8. 3) Means of communication
• The innumerable local languages spoken by the different tribal
groups pose a major problem in reaching to them directly. The
vast difference in communication between the upper castes and
them very often stands high in their proper development. The
local organisations who themselves feel attached to the tribal
people is best to help the majority of them. This is because, the
inhabitants will genuinely trust the local people than cooperating
with a total stranger.

9. 4) Innumerable superstitions still prevalent
• Some of the cultural rituals and vague practices are still now quite
prevalent among some tribal groups which not only harm themselves
at the personal level but also back pulls them from progressing
towards all round development. Several ill practices of hurting or
exploiting other human or animals in the name of rituals downgrades
the entire effort of the government.

10. 5) Assurance that they deserve the best
• The most important aspect of the empowering of the nation is by
helping each other when in need. Since the tribals are less
fortunate to get all the best facilities for sustaining the life, it is the
duty of the government and the social workers to upgrade their
status in the society. The government has done its part in giving
them reservation in education and work sectors. Now the social
workers part is to encourage them to lead their lives up to the
minimum standards needed.

11. 6) Preserving the environment
• The tribal people are the most down to earth people residing in
a collaborative relationship with the nature. They respect and
worship the plants and trees and preserves their mother nature
in their own convenient ways. For them, nature is their home
and life , thus serving the tribal will not only impact their
livelihood but also preserve the environment as a whole.
