- Abstract
The tribal scene in India is a complex cultural mosaic and could we really think of a common sustainable development programme for all the tribals as a whole? The paper is distributed in three parts, first one deals with the concept of sustainable development, second observes the existing development scene in a Bhil village in desert ecology and the third one tries to form a strategy for sustainable development for the Bhil case in that village. Sustainable development argues for a better environment for present and future. It involves two components: the meaning of development and the condition necessary for sustainability. Development is need based. Human needs can be classified as survival, societal, welfare, psychic and cultural, adaptive needs and progressive needs. In the Roopsi village of Jaisalmer District Rajasthan, in a desert eco-system, among the Bhil existing development programme" meet only survival and welfare needs. Neither it meets other needs nor it can produce a better environment for future -- the basic desire of sustainability, In the present paper the problems of sustainable development in tribal situation has been analysed with reference to the Roopsi Bhil case and an attempt has been made to propose a sustainable development strategy for the Roopsi case.
