About Chotanagpur and Its Tribal Population.

The Chotanagpur Plateau spans across Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and West Bengal, hosting a diverse tribal heritage. Despite its rich natural resources, the indigenous communities in this region face economic hardships, limited access to education and healthcare, and widespread migration in search of work.

Over 40% of the population lives below the poverty line, with agriculture being the primary but vulnerable livelihood source due to erratic monsoons, soil degradation, and inadequate irrigation. Furthermore, the deprivation of entitlements such as land rights, fair wages, and government welfare schemes deepens the struggles of these communities.

Addressing these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach that includes sustainable livelihood initiatives, equitable resource distribution, and strengthened local governance. SSDF is committed to tackling these issues through community-driven interventions that foster economic self-reliance and social empowerment.
