Consequence of Entrepreneurship in Tribal Livelihood: A Case Study from Bastar Division

India is a habitat of large number of tribals'population, where as their socio-economic status is very poor. In India, the entrepreneurs have come to assume an important place, and the development of entrepreneurship has become imperative in view of the economic development and prosperity of the country. Thus, an entrepreneurship is a key tool of economic development among tribals. The main objectives of the study are to explore the benefit and importance of entrepreneurship among tribals’ communities with its relevant problems and rate of acceptance. The method of data collection is based on field work and extensive literature review. Structured schedule, Focussed Group Discussion (FGDs) and semi-participatory observation are the key tools of primary data collection in the field. The findings of the study show that entrepreneurship is generating good lifestyle with higher socioeconomical status amongst tribals, whereas the acceptance of the entrepreneurship is lower because of its forgoing and relevant problems. Among tribals, entrepreneurship is creating veneration regarding economic benefit in their livelihood. After establishment of the business, people are getting ability to avail comfortable and healthy life with lot of amenities. But there is still a need of skill development training for the success and betterment for the business. As Grigson (1947) rightly argues that we need to introduce among the tribal such a kind of education, which would restore confidence in them and equip them to face boldly and experience the exogenous forces of modernization.
