Abstract: In total population of Rajasthan Scheduled Tribes (STs), contribute 13.48% (India census 2011). According to constitution of India article 342(1) defines that "The President may designate as Scheduled tribes, either in whole or in part, any tribes, tribal communities, or groups within tribes or tribal communities, with respect to any State or Union Territory, as the case may be, by public notification following consultation with the Governor of that State or Union Territory." (D. D. Basu). Major tribes of Rajasthan are Bhils, Meena, Garasiya, Sahariya, Kanjar, Sansi, Damor, Kathodi, Patelia etc. There are nomadic and semi nomadic tribes also like banjaras, gadia-lohar, rebari etc. Districts that are fully tribal: Pratapgarh, Dungarpur, and Banswara. Areas that are partially tribal: Pali, Rajsamand, Chittorgarh, Sirohi, Udaipur. Problems they face in day-to-day life are: exploitation and poverty, Technological and economic regression, sociocultural limitations, issues with integration with the non-tribal populace, Tribal people's lack of literacy is a key barrier to their growth, Tribal people frequently struggle with poor diet and health because of poverty and a lack of access to hygienic and medical services, debt resulting from insufficient revenue sources, preserving their identities while coexisting in a community with caste, sect, and religious groupings tribes that are considered to be untouchables. In this paper author will discuss how much help tribes of Rajasthan got from the government (administration and police) and NGO's (clothing, food, medicine and regarding safety measures) during covid-19 and lockdown period? How they cope with it and how is there life after covid-19? This paper is based on secondary sources.
