The Yanadi culture has been undergoing great transformation. Industrialization, urbanization, democratization and the various developmental programmes launched especially for tribal welfare are some of the main factors responsible for the tremendous changes that have been sweeping the Yanadi way of life. The ecological relationship between Yanadis and the flora and fauna have changed unrecognizably. The means of production or means of survival have been transformed in an unprecedented manner. However, the rate of change among different sections of the same tribe may be uneven. This unevenness of social change depends, among other things, on the differential availability of opportunities. Moreover, there may be differences in the preparedness on the part of the different sections of the same tribe to accept and use the opportunities available.
