PROJECT ABSTRACT : Objectives: 1)To record the changes taking place in theirsocial, cultural, spiritual and religious practices; 2)To focus on the level of education and state of health; 3)to collect information pertaining to their occupational pattern, level of income, extent of poverty and indebtedness; and 4)To provide suggestions for the development of the Gond community.
Methodology: The study was conducted in the State of Orissa. The sample of respondents was drawn from 4 blocks representing 4 districts of the State. A multi stage sampling method was followed. Out of the thirty districts of the state, four districts, viz., Kalahandi, Nawarangpur, Sambalpur and Sonepur were selected purposively as these districts are in the KBK region and have the largest concentration of Gond population. At the second stage, four blocks, one each from the above districts were selected randomly. In the third stage, five villages from each block and 15 households from each village were selected at random. In total 300 respondents were interviewed for the study.
Study area: State : Orissa; Districts: kalahandi, Nawarangpur, Sambalpur, Sonepur; Blocks:Bamara, Dharmagarh, Raighar; Sonepur. Villages: Baddumer Munda, Baragad, Baunsalaga, Gadposh, Govindpur, Chhilpa, Gadiajor, Kanter, Khairpadar, Kuturu, Jodjang, Kandetara, Siunapalli, Tarangapur, Tureidihi, Jhankarpali, Jhilimunda, Medinapali, Narayanpur, Uparifabsi.
PRESENT STATUS : Completed.
Major findings and conclusions:1.t is observed that there has been a cultural shift among the Gond community of Orissa.2.It is observed that other tribes and castes also live along side of the Gond community. They are independent to make the village a selfsufficient community.3.They do have a strong self governing system of village council or Gram Panchayat.4.The educational facilities in the villages are found to be insignificant. 5.Despite repeated emphasis on better health and hygiene for tribal people the study observed that Malaria, Diarrhoea and Tuberculosis are some of the common diseases that the Gonds are suffering from.

PROJECT ABSTRACT :Communicable and endemic water-borne and water related diseases are commonly found among rural and tribal populations of Attappady and Wyanad regions of Kerala. Endemic diseases like Goitre, Fluorosis etc. occur in geographic areas where soil, water and food contain low or high levels of iodine, fluoride etc. The main objective of the Project is to study the occurrence of endemic / vector - borne diseases among the tribals of Attappady and Wyanad regions with special reference to Fluorosis, Goitre, Malaria,Dengue fever and Yellow fever. A detailed systematic survey was conducted in the tribal inhabited areas of Attappady and Wyanad regions, to study their population composition, life status, eductional, occupational and residential status. Socio-economic survey was conducted by visiting various tribal hamlets. Health camps were conducted at Attappady and Wyanad and treatment and therapies were provided to the larger groups. Awareness camps were also conducted to popularize preventive measures, to control endemic and vector-borne water related diseases and low-cost treatment techniques and hygiene.
