One of the primary objectives of focusing on them is the preservation of their cultural heritage. These tribal communities often have distinctive languages, customs, and belief systems that contribute significantly to India's cultural mosaic. Efforts are made to protect and promote these unique aspects, recognizing their intrinsic value and the importance of cultural diversity. The Indian government has implemented targeted welfare and development programs for them to address their specific needs. These initiatives cover areas such as healthcare, education, livelihood, and infrastructure development. By tailoring interventions to the cultural context and socio-economic realities of each group, authorities aim to uplift their living standards and empower them to participate more actively in the broader social and economic fabric.
