SECTION -C
(Source based questions)
10. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions: 1+1+1
To a vast number of tribal people, the forest is a home, a livelihood, their very existence.
It provides them food, fruits of all kinds, edible leaves, honey, nourishing roots and wild
game. It provides them with material to build their houses and items for practising their
arts. The importance of forests in tribal economy is well-known as they are the source of
sustenance and livelihood for tribal communities. It is commonly believed that the tribal
communities live in harmony with nature and protect forests. Out of a total of 593
districts 187 (2001) have been identified as tribal districts. The tribal districts account
for about 59.8 per cent of the total forest cover of the country whereas the geographical
area of 187 tribal districts forms only 33.6 per cent of the total geographical area of the
country. It demonstrates that tribal districts are generally rich in forest cover. Forest
and tribal are very closely related. The age-old knowledge of tribal regarding forestry
can be used in the development of forests. Rather than treating tribal as minor forest
produce collectors they should be made growers of minor forest produce and
encouraged to participate in conservation.

i. Mention the importance of Forests in tribal economy.
ii.“Forest and tribal are very closely related”. Justify the statement.
iii.“Tribal should be encouraged to participate in conservation.”Do you agree with the
statement? Support your viewpoint.
