 ABSTRACT

Migration had a significant impact on the livelihood of tribespeople. This had also affected the existing agriculture situation of tribal areas. The study revealed that more than half of the tribal migrants had high human capital index after migration. This caused a temptation for migration among tribal non migrants. Globalisation has also affected the life style, food habits and education of tribespeople. Cultural changes were observed among the young tribespeople and many of them have turned to non agricultural labour activities. A prime factor revealed from the study was that there was lofty increase in the addictive behavior of tribespeople due to migration. Due to this reason the increase in education and health status was not much reflected on the human capital of tribespeople and cause a reduction in human capital index.

Keywords: Tribal migration, Human capital, Alcoholism.
