The tribal communities are deep-rooted in the forests of southern India who are dependent on forest for their livelihood and striving for alternative sources of income to overcome vulnerability (Bijoy, and Ravi, 2003). Once the social evils in the tribal societies are removed, Mahatma Gandhi believed in the gradual empowerment of this honest and sincere group and their assimilation in the national stream through the generation of able leadership (Bina, 2017). The literacy of tribes is improved, and the tribes embrace the adoption of technology, like access to Direct to Home (DTH) and mobile phones. Technology could be made possible because of Central Government mobile network coverage in the hamlet areas. Tribes are mostly self-educated by nature and their capability to overcome natural calamity is very high. In South India, satanic worship (black magic) is deficient in the tribal community and uses of ayurvedic herbs as well as modern medicines are becoming popular. Lifestyle is gradually being modernized among the new generation, but at the same time, the barter system is continuing in the community. This article presents the critical observations and findings to assess the strengths and focuses on empowering the community through adoption of technology.
