The Union Home Minister inaugurated the National Tribal Research Institute in New Delhi on Tuesday. He said that today is a very important day especially for the tribal society. Tribal society cannot develop unless there is complete development of the individual, the village and the region. There are many TRIs in the country, but there is no national link connecting many diversities of tribal society and this institute is built to cater the same.

It is envisaged that TRIs should focus on their core responsibilities as body of knowledge and research more or less as a think tank for tribal development, preservation of tribal cultural heritage, providing inputs to states for evidence based planning and appropriate legislations, capacity building of tribals and persons or institutions associated with tribal affairs, dissemination of information and creation of awareness.
There are 26 Tribal Research Institutes supported by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India.
