After independence, Indian society has rapidly become committed to all-round development. Acceptance of Indian Constitution’s mandates of gender equality, special facilities for backward groups, etc., the process of change has brought about change in the backward communities, but the tribal communities living in rural areas in many remote areas have not seen any deep impact of this change. Among them, tribal women have traditionally had a low status in backward communities. Among them the status is low due to lack of education and lack of access to mass media.
