 PREFACE

This report, a compilation of quantitative data on PTGs of Nilgiris district, is the

outcome a socio-economic survey conducted under the Project “Socio-Economic
Survey of Scheduled Tribes in Tamil Nadu” (G.O.(Ms) No.59 of AD & TW Dept. dated
02.6.2010) among the PTGs of Nilgiris district for little more than a year during 2010-
11. I am extremely thankful to Thiru. Vishwanath A Shegaonkar, I.A.S., former
Principal Secretary, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department and Thiru
U.Ravindran, I.F.S., former Director, Tribal Welfare Department for having initiated this
research project and provided all the necessary support and guidance for conducting this
survey.

Conducting field work in the vast mountainous district of the Nilgiris, especially
collecting data in the interior forest settlements, though an enriching experience, was
also an extremely difficult and arduous task. In order to elicit a truthful picture and
collect accurate information, competent young members from the respective tribal
communities were mainly employed in data collection. Without their wholehearted
support, this compilation could never have been done. There are still certain gaps in the
data presented in this report. Information has been sought from the field to fill up these
gaps. May be, an update is possible if the data is provided further. Development is an
ongoing process. Providing basic amenities in tribal settlements is continuously taken up
by several Government and Non Government Organizations in Nilgiris. Therefore, the
figures shown in this report, based on 2010 field work, might certainly be different for
2012. For the first time, a break up of the population and distribution details of the three
endogamous subgroups of the Kurumbas, namely, Alu Kurumba, Betta Kurumba and
Mullu Kurumba, besides the break-up details of Toda and Toda Christian, along with
clan wise distribution of Toda, have been attempted in Nilgiris district through this
Survey. Definitely, this attempt forms the highlight of this research work.

I am extremely thankful to Thiru. Nordhey (Manikandan) from Toda, Thiru.

Mani and Thiru. Ramachandran from Alu Kurumba, Ms. Umavathy from Kota, Thiru.

Kurumba, Thiru. Ravichandran for Irula, Thiru. Thirumurthy for Kattunayakan, Betta
Kurumba, Irular and Paniyan communities, for their painstaking field work in the tribal
settlements. I am thankful to Ms. Uma for data entry. My earnest thanks to all my
colleagues in the Tribal Research Centre, Ooty. Thiru. Jayasekaran, Thiru. Sivaraman,
Driver Thiru Mani (who is no more), Thiru. Kumar and Thiru Murugan for their
assistance all through this work. Dr. M. Premalatha of Karpagam University who
conducted a major study among the Paniyan of Nilgiris at that time, rendered immense
help in the analysis of the data. Dr. P.N. Venugopal, SRF, from Anthropological Survey
of India, Mysore has assisted me profoundly to give a final shape to this report. Shri
Prem Suthar, JRF from Anthropological Survey of India made the cover page.

I am also very much thankful to Thiru A.S Jeevarathinam IAS, Secretary, Adi
Dravidar and Tribal Welfare, Thiru. K.V. Giridhar, IFS, Director, Tribal Welfare, Ms.
Archana Patnaik, IAS, Collector, The Nilgiris District, Prof. S. Sumathi, Department of

carry out this work in Nilgiris.
