Long Abstract
:

In 1973, the Dhebar Commission created Primitive Tribal Groups (PTGs) as a separate category during the fourth five-year plan, which is less developed among the tribal groups. In 2006, the Government of India renamed the PTGs as PVTGs. On the basis of the Dhebar Commission report, a criterion for identifying Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups was established as (i) a Pre-agricultural level of technology, (ii) a Low level of literacy, (iii) Economic backwardness,(iv) A declining or stagnant population and Geographical Location. PVTGs are famous for their distinctive art, cultural identity and wearing of traditional ornaments and costumes. Even now, they continued their cultural hegemony of daily life. The focus of this qualitative research will be social exclusion and inclusion related to PVTGs Women, and cultural parameters. The various reports recognize that marginalization, exclusion, and persecution of tribal people on account of social, religious, caste, ethnicity and gender adversely affect developmental outcomes. However, a number of plans and policies implementing and committed to ensuring social justice for deprived communities. A tribal woman enjoys the rights and equality given by the state and society. Such as constitutional rights given by the Constitution of India and secondly, traditional rights given by their traditional customs within their community. Even then, different research papers, articles and research indicating toward the negative review of ‘women empowerment’. Even today the tribal women are unable to make their suitable mark in both the 'political executive' and the 'non-political executive'. Therefore, this qualitative research will highlight the following definitive debates on PVTG and women's empowerment within the gender discourse within the constitutional and political dimensions.
