It is widely known fact that tribal development has not been as effective as they were planned to be largely because of lack of transfer of technology in remote areas. Rajasthan has tribal population of 70 97706 (2001) constituting 12.56% of states population. The major constitution of tribal group is in Southern Part of Rajasthan. The tribal population on Banswara District is 8.49 lack which is 72.3% of total populations of district and 15.39% of total tribal population of state as per census 1991. Wheat production in India has increased by more than four times during the period of past two and half decades. Due to these spectacular increase there is an urgent need in the production and with storage techniques of wheat to meet the increasing demands. The success story of Green Revaluation in India is attributed mainly due to highest production of wheat crop. India stands fourth in area and production of wheat crop in the world. It is second important staple food crop after rice. The advent of irrigation will bring a social change in tribal areas. The Mahi Bajaj Sagar Irrigation Project is not only providing a firm footing for developing agriculture and industry in the Southern Part of Rajasthan but is also bringing about a Semi Economic Revolution in the life of the entire population of this region which mostly comprise of Adivasis. Civilization have flourished through edges by the sides of rivers. The water would be needed more to accelerate the activities aimed at social change growth and development of Indian economy.
