Abstract:
The adaptation of the quota system for the weaker section people of the country probably slowly reducing the percentage of effectiveness of the desired outcome and will be less meaning in the future. One of the studies is going on in the department of Business Administration of Utkal University to understand the requirement and develop certain mechanisms towards the development of certain tribe communities by utilizing their own potential skill for the sustainability. Mahali (ST) community of Mayurbhanja district of Odisha is excellent in bamboo crafts manufacture. Most of the people from this community are earning their livelihood by engaging themselves in this business with less investment, planting bamboo in their unutilized & unirrigated barren land, a few cuttings and measuring instruments and equipments. They work in this craft in
whole time or part time and produced excellent bamboo crafts. Another reason is also seen from the field study that differently aged & differently able people are also engaged and earning their livelihood which justifies the sustainability of those people. Probably the hard labour and complacent attitude of them brings happiness at one side and at another side the non saving, non entrepreneurial, less education and market knowledge
hijacked their potential skill for others benefit, leaving them at same status, that needs to be emphasized.
