Evaluating Skilling and Empowering Marginalised Tribals in Badwani and Alirajpur Through Sustainable Development Principles

Abstract This paper looks at the socio-economic factors of livelihood security among a tribal and rural population based on their demographic, education, land ownership, and institutional aspects in Badwani and Alirajpur region of Madhya Pradesh, India. Descriptive analysis indicates that the sample is male-dominated (58.89%) with moderately educated people (33.33%), with the most significant percentage being illiterate (27.78%), with major livelihoods being mainly informal (24.44%), and primarily a daily wage worker (20.00%). Income distribution focuses on economic susceptibility, in which more than 70 percent of the population earns less than 1 lakh yearly. ANOVA does not reveal any significant correlation between the level of education and the level of livelihood security (p=0.718), which means that formal education is not necessarily associated with enhanced economic performance. On the other hand, landholding size significantly affected the livelihood security (p=0.009), where small landholders (1-2 ha) had a substantially higher level of livelihood security than landless and marginal farmers. The regression analysis also reveals that the Self-Help Group (SHG) participation is a statistically significant positive predictor (p=0.018), further showing collective action's significance in increasing resilience. There is a marginally significant effect on market access (p=0.073), but no significance of NGO support or credit access. The findings illustrate that structural resources including land and social resources in form of SHGs are more significant than individual resources, such as education in the determination of livelihood for the tribals in Madhya Pradesh. This necessitates policy measures to be finetuned towards secure tenure of land, building up of community institutions and strengthening market linkages to support sustainable livelihoods.
