ABSTRACT: This research delves into the socio-economic intricacies of the Mishing and Tiwa tribes in
Assam, exploring their cultural heritage, historical challenges, and contemporary disparities. The
study employs a multidimensional approach, analyzing economic, educational, health, and
housing indices to construct a Quality of Life Index. Findings reveal nuanced challenges, from
land rights to infrastructural gaps, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions.
Recommendations include educational reforms, healthcare investments, economic
diversification, and cultural preservation. The research advocates for inclusive policies, urging
policymakers to address root causes and embrace a holistic approach for uplifting the vibrant
Mishing and Tiwa communities.
