Abstract

This study delves into the pressing issue of tribal displacement in mining-centric zones in the state of Jharkhand, India, with a focus on formulating policy interventions to safeguard the rights and well-being of tribal communities. Using secondary data from various sources, including governmental reports, academic publications, and research databases, this research provides a comprehensive analysis of the socioeconomic, environmental, and cultural implications of mining activities on indigenous populations. Through a meticulous examination of secondary data, this study reveals the multifaceted impact of mining activities on tribal livelihoods, including loss of land, disruptions in traditional means of livelihood, and increased vulnerability to poverty. Additionally, it highlights the environmental degradation resulting from mining operations, such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, and water contamination, exacerbating the already precarious living conditions of tribal communities. The findings underscore the urgent need for policy interventions that prioritise the protection of tribal rights and promote sustainable development in mining-centric zones. By analyzing existing policies, legal frameworks, and socio-economic indicators, this research identifies gaps in the current approach and proposes evidence-based policy recommendations. This study serves as a crucial resource for policymakers, researchers, and advocates, shedding light on the challenges faced by tribal communities in mining-centric zones of Jharkhand.
