Abstract
Irrespective of high social development and reform movements, inter-caste disparity is still prevalent in Kerala and scheduled tribes have been the most marginalized among all groups (CSSEIP, 2010). Present study focused to examine the quality of Life and the level of Depression, Anxiety and Stress among tribal women. Age of the respondents limited in between 20-70. A number of 201 respondents were selected from Ernakulam (N= 101) and Wayanad (N=100). The Kuttambuzha panchayath is the only one tribal area of Ernakulam district. The huge amount of resources were pumped into this tribal area by the government and Non-Government agencies. But Wayanad is a thickly tribal populated area. Resource allocation was not sufficient because of the huge number of tribal settlements. Present study compares the quality of life of tribal women from these districts and found that quality of life is higher among tribal women belonging to Ernakulam district. Anxiety, Depression and stress is higher among women belonging to Wayanad district. Further it revealed that quality of life and depression, anxiety and stress significantly influenced by the age of tribal women.
