CHAMPION SQUARE CHART UNIT-10 TRIBES OF MADHYA PRADESH [ENGLISH MEDIUM]

Madhya Pradesh has one of the largest tribal populations in India. The tribal communities of the state have preserved their rich cultural heritage for many generations. They have their own languages, customs, religious beliefs, dances, music, art forms, and traditional occupations. Most tribes live in forests, hills, and rural areas, and their lives are closely connected with nature and natural resources. They depend on agriculture, hunting, gathering, and handicrafts for their livelihood. The government of Madhya Pradesh and India has started many welfare schemes for tribal education, health care, housing, and employment to improve their living standards and bring them into the mainstream of development.
