The tribal communities in Kerala constitute 1.4 percent of the general population. Despite, Kerala’s
remarkable social sector development, it is observed that the tribal communities still remain the
most vulnerable community in the state. Hence, the present study was an attempt to study the
extent of social exclusion of Adiya tribal communities of Wayanad. Social exclusion was measured
using five indicators and primary data was collected from 90 respondents, using structured
questionnaire. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics. The study revealed that
Adiyas faced an overall exclusion of 66.38 percent. Analysis of extent of social exclusion indicator wise showed that economic exclusion was felt to the extent of 74.54 percent followed by politicallegal
exclusion (69.89%). Also, Adiya tribe experienced geographical exclusion to the extent of
69.76 percent followed by service exclusion (67.96%) and socio-cultural exclusion (48.92%)
respectively. Further 50.00 percent of the respondents felt medium level of social exclusion.
Considering the significant level of social exclusion faced by this tribal community, developmental
interventions for the empowerment of Adiyas in social, economic and educational spheres for
ensuring food and livelihood security and for defence against exploitation is the need of the hour.
