A separate department of Tribal Development was set by Government of Maharashtra to cater to the developmental needs that are special to tribal areas. The department has more than 250 schemes under which assistance is provided to tribals. Two of them are ‘Well, in-well boring' scheme, and a scheme for rehabilitation of destitute women. The ‘well, in-well boring' scheme was studied in Gadchiroli, Bhamragarh, and Aheri Projects, and the Rehabilitation program was evaluated for Gadchiroli Project only. 

The study concluded that both the schemes are good for tribal development and the work on the schemes is progressing satisfactorily.
