Abstract
An emerging feature of contemporary development studies in India is the deployment of an interdisciplinary
approach involving geographical location, level of poverty, nature of development and planning
etc. The prevalence of poverty in a specifi c geographical location represents the evolving pattern of
deprivation under a particular mode of production. The historicity of poverty in a geographical space
needs an independent enquiry and identifi cation of different production systems which are responsible
for the problem of deprivation through multiple routes. The present paper is an attempt to initiate a
debate on the issue of poverty, especially in a tribal region, through a multi-dimensional perspective,
i.e. interrelation between geography, poverty, development and planning. The paper identifi es one of
the most poverty-stricken regions of India for a detailed discussion of the various casual factors which
are apparently responsible for the poverty of that region. The paper also tries to explore the historical
background of poverty in the study area (Babhani Block of Sonbhadra U. P.).
