Despite the research by many researchers due attention has not been paid in studying the status, growth, development and nutritional status of the Bharia tribal community in India. In fact, most of the works carried out in India mainly on growth and nutritional status deal with urban and in rural populations of Scheduled Tribes .Among the tribal population the studies about Bharias are limited .In the present study we examine the status and trend of development of Bharias of Patalkot.
