Introduction

The non-governmental or voluntary organizations have played a crucial role in all socio-economic spheres, including that of tribal peoples in India. At some level, they can be classified as "medium" through which the nation makes optimum use of its human resources. However, the proliferation of voluntary organizations working in the field of rural development in recent years has generated a wide debate about their role, structure, programs and performance.

A unique feature of voluntary organizations is that they stimulate voluntary action in the target community and involve the progressive elements of this community. In the current context of human resource development, volunteer organizations, in their operation, have demonstrated the freedom and flexibility to work with a personal touch, a capacity for initiative and experimenting with new programs. Thus, the voluntary full exercise of freedom in the choice of localities for the implementation of the program and are free of red tape. In the Indian context, the attributes of a tribe they are living in relative isolation of hills and forest covered, and often in geographical areas inaccessible to the general population. The tribes are usually groups without a letter or a script. Their sense of history is shallow or mixed with mythology, and according to their cultural ethos, language, customs, institutions and beliefs, they differ from other sectors of society.

In India, the tribes have different names such as vanyajati, vanavasi, pahariya, adimajati, Janajati, jati anusuchit and tribes - which means the Aboriginal ". India is the second interim tribal population after South Africa in the world. According to the 2001 census, the population of the tribal population is 84,200,000, and represents 8.2% of the population. There are about 689 tribes speaking some 105 languages and 225 language subsidiary. They have always lived in about 15% of the geographical area of the country, mainly forests, hills and hilly terrain in areas inaccessible plateau are rich in natural resources. They lived mostly as isolated entities together for centuries and this explains their late politico-socio-economic.

However, we must recognize that even before the fight for the freedom of some voluntary organizations have been active in the field of well-being of tribes. They have also played an important role in rural development and nation building and continued to do so. Many great personalities have taken initiatives to form such organizations, which now perform a key role in local implementation of various development works. Until a truly democratic process of governance evolves, it will remain a strong desire for voluntary organizations to play a mediating role between the state and people.

In 1871, the Bhil Seva Mandal has been raised in Gujarat. At that time, AV Thakkar was the instigator of voluntary organizations engaged in tribal development. When India gained independence, he established more than 20 voluntary agencies in different regions of the country. Some other Indian National Congress leaders were also involved in activities of tribal development. Dr. Rajendra Prasad Bharatiya Adim Jati Sevak Sangh has greatly contributed to shaping tribal politics where the Indian Constitution being drafted. Various approaches have been developed in the country in the field of tribal affairs, eminent among them are the Agency's voluntary approach, the policy approach and the anthropological approach. These approaches find support in three policies important: 1. Isolation Policy 2. Policy.
