This study seeks to examine how
National Rural Livelihoods Mission or NRLM may be leveraged
to improve food and nutrition security (FNS) in tribal
areas, preferably in a manner that would enhance the
effectiveness of the program's core livelihoods focus.
More broadly, the objective is to strengthen the capacity of
the Government of India (GoI) to deliver (or support)
effective FNS interventions in tribal and backward areas
(TABAs). As such, the study aims to do the following:
develop the evidence base on those constraints which STs
face with regard to achieving food security and favorable
nutritional outcomes; examine approaches which have been
used to address issues of poor nutrition elsewhere in India
or abroad to identify interventions that could be effective
in tribal areas; and Recommend models for improving FNS in
tribal areas within the context of NRLM. The primary focus
of this work is operationally oriented toward identifying
entry points for NRLM to address tribal malnutrition as it
expands into states with larger tribal communities,
particularly Jharkhand and Odisha.
