India is estimated to have more than 100,000 brick kilns producing about 150 – 200 billion bricks annually. Brick industry in India is employing large number of migrant workers including men & women and even children who work in the kiln on a temporary contract and low wages.

But however, tribal women face many problems and challenges in getting a sustainable living. The Tribal development Strategy, especially tribal women development needs more attention, improvement and betterment to make tribal women empowered. As majority of tribals live in abject poverty, SHGs plays a vital role in raising their status above the poverty line through implementation of various poverty alleviation programmes and providing them with financial and other support for taking up self – employment and income generation activities. In Tamil Nadu, among the 36 scheduled tribes, the Government of India has identified six communities as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups. They are (i) Todas, (ii) Kotas, (iii) Kurumbas, (iv) Irulas, (v) Paniyans and (vi) Kattunayakas. Hence the researchers have selected one (Irula Tribe) among the six Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups. The paper has attempted to analyse the contribution of SHGs among Irula tribes in Nilgris district.Item DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION PATTERN OF WATER AMONG HOUSEHOLDS IN COIMBATORE CITY(BODHi International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Science Center for Resource, Research and Publication Services, (CRRPS) India., 2018-09) C, AthenaGlobal consumption of water is doubling every 20 years, more than twice the rate of human population growth. The emerging scarcity of water has also raised a host of issues related to sustainability of the present form of economic development, sustained water supply, equity and social justice, water financing, pricing, governance and management.

It should be reflected in the form of better opportunities for employment and livelihood and also in improvements in basic amenities like water, sanitation, housing, electricity etc and special attention for backward sections of populations scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and other excluded groups. Welfare programmes for the tribal people have to be based on respect and understanding of their culture and traditions and an appreciation of the social, psychological and economic problems which they are facing in their daily life. ‘Inclusion’ should be seen as a process of including these excluded sections of the society as agents whose participation is essential in the very design of the development process and not simply to make these people informed about the development schemes.Item STATUS OF TRIBAL WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE(International Journal of Research in Commerce, Economics and Management, 2017-08) C, AthenaFarming in India is mainly a family occupation. Farmwomen are an integral part of the human society but there has been little realization about the contribution of women in the economic activities of a country. This was a position in most of countries till recently and India is no exception. In tribal communities, the role of women is substantial and crucial. They constitute about half the total population but in tribal society women are more important than in other social groups, because they work harder and the family, economy and management depends on them. Even after industrialization and the resultant commercialization swamped the tribal economy, women continued to play a significant role. Collection of minor forest produce is done mostly by women and children. Though they are indus- trious, they have limited control over resources and economic activities. Therefore, there is a need for empowerment of tribal women in order to overcome inequal- ity, discrimination and exploitation. In this background, a descriptive study is made to highlight, the status of tribal women in agriculture, evidences of empower- ment of tribal women in agriculture and to suggest suitable measures for the attainment of inclusive growth.Item LIVING CONDITIONS OF KOTA TRIBAL WOMEN IN NILGIRIS DISTRICT(IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science (IOSR-JHSS), 2017-05) C, AthenaAll over the world women occupy an unenviable position. They are denied of opportunities to develop their potentialities or to utilize them. The study of social status of women is important because it forms one of the most trustworthy and reliable indices of the state of society, and indicates the nature and direction of social change. In tribal society of India also, women were found to have been occupying a prominent place as a critical variable to understand the changing phenomenon. To work among the tribal’s is more challenging and difficult. Probably, these led social researchers avoid studying tribal women. As the tribal women are no less important and as many of them have already started toeing the line of caste Hindu women, the researchers have decided to study the Kota women of Nilgiri District with the objectives of knowing the demographic profile, socio economic status and Human Development Index.Item STUDY ON LEVELS OF LIVING OF SELF HELP GROUPS IN COIMBATORE DISTRICT WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THONDAMUTHUR AND PERIYANAICKENPALAYAM BLOCKS(Language in India, 2009-02-01) C, AthenaEconomic progress in any country whether developed or underdeveloped would be achieved through social development and empowering women would certainly lead to social development. Women‟s empowerment cannot be just ignored while devising various policies for rural and socio-economic development. At this point of view, micro financing or group lending is being looked upon as the instrument that can be considered as the golden stick for poverty alleviation vis-à-vis rural development. Therefore, providing micro credit to the rural women through an organised set up will make them enterprising womenItem CHALLENGES IN ACQUIRING SKILL TRAINING WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO RURAL WOMEN(Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelvelli, 2019-12-13) C, AthenaThe dominance of rural economy pressurizes the government of India to enhance the economic conditions of the rural sector.
