Among hundreds of tribal communities living across the length and breadth of the country, there are some groups that are relatively isolated, archaic, vulnerable, relatively deprived, and economically backward. They have been identified and designated as Primitive Tribal Groups (PTGs) for providing special attention to development. The Tribal communities who live mostly in pre- agricultural activities for their survival and are in extremely low levels of literacy are classified as Primitive Tribal Groups (PTGs). The primitive tribes are found scattered throughout India. They inhabit a remote, inaccessible area, almost cut off from the mainstream. Identification of the primitive groups is the most important exercise which needs great caution. A more intense approach was adopted for tribal welfare through Special Multi-purpose Tribal Blocks (SMPT Blocks). A special plan called “Tribal Sub Plan Strategy (TSP)” during the fifth Five Year Plan (1974) was evolved especially for the 75 PTGs of India. Under this plan, Micro Projects were launched to cater to the integrated needs of PTGs. In Odisha at present 17 Micro Projects have been operating for 12 PTGs out of which 13 Projects are within the scheduled areas. The Didayi is one of the PTGs of Odisha and Micro Projects named “Didayi Development Agency (DDA)” and was established in the year 1986 at Kudumulugumma of Malkangiri district of Odisha. The Didayi is indeed little known Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) of Odisha and is confined to the Kondakamberu Mountain Range and its foothills which constitute part of the Eastern Ghat Mountain Range. In fact, the hill range is known as DIdayi land. This Micro Project and Odisha PVTG Empowerment and Livelihoods Improvement Programme (OPELIP) aims at planning their socio-economic development in a comprehensive manner while retaining the culture and heritage of the community by adopting a habitat development approach and intervening in all spheres of their social and economic life so that a visible impact is made improvement of the quality of life of PVTGs.
