The execution of the law has however been incomplete. The project aims to facilitate the execution in manner that secures the tribal way o
f life.Industrial development and globalization mines and old forest laws and policies are further pushing them to the margins of existence threatening their sustainable livelihood their traditional subsistence- and shifting cultivation minor forest produc
e collection herbal practices and bamboo-work. In some areas they are even under threat of being uprooted/evicted or displaced from their indigenous homes and habitats. Indian government has set up institutions (like Baiga Development Authority) and specia
l budgetary provisions to take care of PTGs and to address their declining population growth literacy below 5% and remote and isolated habitation etc. But due to top-down policies non-transparency in functioning and governmental inertia these measures have
