A geographical study has been done on Girasia tribals living in the southern Aravalli region of Rajasthan. The agricultural patterns of this region are influenced by physical, social, cultural, financial, and political factors. The study emphasizes providing solutions for the hurdles in the development of agriculture, social, and economic development of the tribals. After independence, the tribals of the southern Aravalli region have benefited from many tribal development programs initiated by the Government of India. But, unfortunately, the non-tribal people have settled in tribal territories and have exploited the tribesmen by taking advantage of the laws framed by the government itself. Therefore, the growth centers should be fixed among the tribal villages instead of the non-tribal villages. The paper is based on the data obtained through primary as well as secondary sources. The primary data has been collected by using a questionnaire in sample villages during the survey. Secondary data was collected from various government offices, libraries, and institutes related to tribal development. The Southern Aravali Region is constituted and delimited administratively by the eleven tehsils of three districts, which are mainly inhabited by the tribal population, where Girasia are dominant. The region is bordered by Pali district, Sirohi district, and Udaipur district. The Girasia form a significant part and play a major role in the region.
