Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are a category of infectious diseases affect people who are residing in high endemic conditions in rural and disadvantaged urban areas of underdeveloped and poor economic countries. The socio-economic analysis of the NTD affected areas is required for policy making, hence the Pushparajgarh Tehsil of Anuppur district has been selected, which is one of the most inhabited areas in Madhya Pradesh having NTDs. In this investigation, the data collected from primary source (direct interview with questionnaire using random sampling method) and secondary sources (Government reports, literatures and statistics). Totally 25 villages and urban wards were selected purposely and the sample size of 250 households were randomly obtained from Pushparajgarh Tehsil. The socio economic impact of NTDs of the scheduled tribes including Gond, Panika, Jogi, Kol, Baiga and Agariya tribes, who are indigenous and geographically isolated were analyzed. The results showed that majority of the household occupations are agriculture and more than 75.2% of the respondents are formers and have income around below Rs. 4000 to 8000 level. Even daily wage labourers are present in the sample population. In education, 32% of the respondents didn’t have any formal education and around 17.6% of the respondents studied upto secondary class. This study concluded that there is a need to provide adequate facilities to the tribes with respect to education, socio-economic development, health care, etc, which can motivate them for awareness of NTDs and other health related issues, which can improve their socio-economic status.
