In many developing nations, the idea of development serves as a major turning point. The process is such that the ostensible target group or beneficiary suffers as a result of advancement and development. However, development brings a change in lifestyle, land, water, modification in transport communication, etc. No doubt, India is marching on the path of development. It has taken new development projects to walk with developed countries. After independence, new railway lines, industry and dams have been constructed to compete with a global market. But maximum development projects have been constructed in tribal dominant areas. As a result of this, the innocent, helpless tribal are displaced in the name of development. It is already shown that the tribal have faced a disproportionate share of displacement. It is found that the tribal youths are the most vulnerable group who have been facing different problems like unemployment, lawlessness, homeless and poverty in the name of development. Due to their incapacity to speak up against the government and multinational corporations, the tribal people have been estranged from their ancestral homeland. The effects of development, industrialization, and civilization are most detrimental to youth. This paper has focused on the major problems faced by the tribal people due to displacement in the name of development. The objectives of the study are to bring to limelight the lifestyle, changing pattern of livelihood, and also different internal as well as external problems faced by tribal youngsters of our society due to displacement.
