Urbanisation, a new phenomenon in areas inhabited by indigenous peoples of India, is marked by dispossession of their land and resources, accentuating poverty, health hazards, causing damage to the ecology and environment, and livelihood, combined with the absence of share and participation in development. Keeping these contexts, my work explores the challenges of inclusive and sustainable urban development in the tribal areas of India.
