Abstract: Post-independent India’s policies have resulted in development-induced displacement and impoverish- ment of a large number of people. As a task of national building processes, planners were focused more on economic development which basically emphasised mainly on the growth of GNP. This resulted in the establishment of Industries, dams, mega projects and mining etc. Introduction of these projects has brought changes in the patterns of land use, water and other natural resources. Availability of these minerals in tribal areas has brought huge changes with the opening of various mining companies. The paper examined the mining and its impact on tribals in India.
Keywords: Development, Mining, Displacement, Exploitation, Resettlement, and Livelihood.
