  • Abstract:
  • The socio-economic mobility of the Banjara community in India is analyzed by focusing attention on the shift in traditional livelihoods and education in the present study. Having started with livestock herding and trade, the Banjara tribe experienced radical changes in the economy they engaged in under the demand of the modern occupations they took, from agriculture to small businesses, and then wage labour. This mixed-methods study combines quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, FGDs, and secondary data analysis to study all factors affecting socio-economic mobility, such as educational access, changes in income, and social integration. Secondary data analysis from government sources would involve the Census of India, NSSO reports, and ASER, allowing contextual insights into the socio-economic conditions of the community. The main data gathered through surveys and interviews conducted with members of the Banjara community residing in Telangana and Maharashtra reveal key trends on educational attainment, income levels, and perceptions of mobility. The findings reflect some advancement and persistent barriers to full socio-economic integration such as discrimination, limited education infrastructure, and poverty. The study reveals the necessity for targeted policies and interventions that enhance education opportunities and contribute to the sustainable development of the Banjara community.
