Socio-economic issues are the determining factors for the development of individuals. The development of individuals can be perceived by understanding their socio-economic profile. In this study, the socio-economic profile of indigenous women was very poor and they had minimum access to all the factors of development. Education, income, health, water and sanitation etc were poorly perceived by them. Consequently, most of the indigenous women were illiterate, poor, unhealthy and highly traditional. More than half of the indigenous women didn't have education, proper income sources, health facilities, water management and modern health services.
