There have an always been a debate among administration, society, and scientists that which way would be appropriate for the survival and sustainable development of the tribals. On one hand there is a way of reconciliation with the mainstream based on their conditions, on the other hand with the mainstream isolation is an option.
Governments around the world want to make tribals as a part of the economy through eco-tourism, heritage villages, etc. The tribal community is basically associated with totemism, but this situation removes them from their roots, that is why the entry and interference of the government system in tribal areas has been viewed with apprehension.
The question of how to ensure the survival and sustainable development of tribal communities has sparked debates among administrations, societies, and scientists worldwide. Two contrasting approaches have emerged: one advocates for tribal reconciliation with the mainstream, while the other suggests isolation from it.
On the other hand, if tribal communities want a better world, then they will have to struggle to achieve the right of self-determination and autonomy recognized by the United Nations. In both the ways, the biggest challenge will be preserving their identity and existence.
Southern Rajasthan is inhabited by diverse tribals, and successful ecotourism planning and implementation will bring social empowerment through community participation, community mobilization, infrastructure improvement, and cultural awareness. Socially and economically active, culturally and environmentally sustainable, through better and stricter policies targeting the beneficial ecology in the region, creating employment opportunities for the local people and improving the standard of living of the participants will be able to improve.
