This paper shows how a confidence-building project in the late 1970’s brought certain limited benefits to land-poor adivasi (tribal) women. By 1986, a milk co-operative provided regular and dignified employment to over 200 poor women and men. The expected exodus from the tribal villages to the cities had been averted.
 
The second part of the paper critiques the project’s apparent success. But finally the paper argues that development work in the 1990’s has sought to meet some of these challenges. By 2005, there were environmental education programmes throughout Surat District’s forest belt. Computer education courses for young women had started. The paper ends with an outline of research that needs to be done."
