Abstract

The East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh State is predominantly a tribal populated district with 52 per cent (1,48,920) of the total population of 2,85,848, mostly concentrated in 559 villages of agency area and 49 villages of sub plan area. The predominant tribal groups found here are Konda Reddy, Koya Doras, Konda Kammaras, Valmiki, Manne Doras and Konda Kapus. These tribes are closely attached to their lands and forests. The lands are generally rainfed uplands and their productivity is low. Dwindling forests and non-timber forest produce have also adversely affected their livelihoods
