Raji Tribe of Uttarakhand
This study aims to understand the present condition of the Raji community in India, which is a particularly vulnerable, isolated, alienated indigenous community living mainly in remote, dispersed and inaccessible hilly areas of Uttarakhand. Their population is considered as declining. The problems they face in social, economic and political spheres have remained largely unidentified and unaddressed.
The Raji community is a small tribe that has settled in small pockets in the Central Himalayan belt. They are geographically situated in the North western region of Uttarakhand, near Nepal boarder. The need for a comprehensive study on the Raji as a PVTG was found in view of the unavailability of latest information and the rapid decline in the socioeconomic status of the tribe.
