Abstract: Scheduled Tribal population belongs to socially weaker section of the society and they living in isolation from forward caste. They had poor living conditions. Even when majority of the communities in the world kept changing their life-styles, there are communities still living in line with their traditional values, customs and believes. Several factors have been identified for the slow progress of such groups. They are living under social and cultural backwardness, poor economic conditions, lack of education, and deficiency in infrastructural facilities, poor employment opportunities, and attitudes of main population towards men and so on. Rehabilitation plans in Kerala promised each eligible family that moved onto the farm a title deed of one acre land along with other facility which includes basic facility like drinking water, road, transportation, school, electricity and houses. Tribal communities are vulnerable even today not because they are poor, illiterate, asset less as compared to the general public but their vulnerability arises from their inability to cope and negotiate with the general public or with the mainstream economy society, culture and political system. The major significance of the study is to understand how the Government had rehabilitated the tribes and protect their rights and also provided efficient enmities to the tribe. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of rehabilitated tribal population. To understand the challenges faced by the rehabilitated tribes.
