Abstract:

This study examines the socio-economic status of the Gujjar tribe, a semi-nomadic pastoral community in Himachal Pradesh, India. Despite their significant presence in the region, the Gujjars face challenges related to economic marginalization, limited access to education, and social exclusion. The study aims to provide a comprehensive description of their socio-economic conditions, focusing on income, education, occupation, and access to resources. Findings reveal low household income, limited educational attainment, and dependence on traditional occupations like animal husbandry. The study highlights the need for targeted policy interventions to improve the socio-economic conditions of the Gujjar tribe, emphasizing education, healthcare, and economic diversification.

Keywords:
