Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
The tribal economy is simple because they are engaged in varied occupations such as hunting, fishing and food gathering of forest produce, basket making, weaving, iron-smith etc. Besides, they also practice simple agriculture and shifting cultivation. Their economic activities are based on rudimentary technology, usually resulting in low productivity. They have a low level of literacy and poor health. In addition, their economic and infrastructural and marketing facilities are poor. Some tribes still depend on barter systems. These are among the few causes that leave them economically backwards, at a bare subsistence level, still leading to a hand-to-mouth existence.
