The proportions of tribal population vary considerably among Indian States/Union Territories. The tribal regions of India have high mortality and malaria prevalence. About 60 percent of malaria cases in India are confined to tribal areas.
More than 10 percent of the total population of Maharashtra state belongs to tribal population groups. There is an upward trend of malaria cases in the tribal blocks. The Tribal Development Department of the Government of Maharashtra is making efforts to find out the prevalence of various types of malaria and to see the interrelationship between rainfall and the incidence of malaria cases.
