Tribal sub plan (T.S.P) strategy was evolved by Ministry of Education and Social Welfare in 1972, for rapid socio-economic development of tribal people. It was adopted for the first time in fifth five year plan in 17 states and 1 Union territory. Later the TSP was extended and at the end of ninth five year plan TSP was in operation in 23 states and 2 Union territories, which is continuing since then. With the view to implement the strategy of tribal sub plan, the approach of Integrated Tribal Development Project (ITDP) was developed. Projects carried out under tribal sub plan were minor irrigation, road development, power development, non-conventional sources of energy and during 1988 a special programme was introduced for development of hilly areas. Pre-implementation stage, during implementation stage and follow-up stage male respondents had very good participation than female respondents. This difference in the participation of tribal might be due to the reason that male respondents had highly educated and active participation in organizations. In case, follow-up stage there is no significant difference in participation with regard to ongoing programmes in male and female respondents.
