"The present book deals with children of tribes engaged in child labour. Indigenous people or tribes are the original inheritors of the earth. The term "tribe or tribal" is commonly used in sociology and anthropology to describe certain categories of aboriginal cultures.

The book presents an outstanding over view of tribal children engaged in child labour. Its contribution to the field of social sciences in general and sociology, anthropology and social work in particular is enormous. It is organized in seven chapters dealing with varied aspects of tribal children engaged in child labour with special reference to their health and education. The field experiences, personal observations of the author based on extensive research work are reflected in the book.

The book will be useful for social scientists, scholars, academicians, social activists and field practitioners as a reference material for theory building as well as for development of skills in social work and allied disciplines."
