The tribes of Madhya Pradesh population constitute over 20% of the state population and are mainly concentrated in the southern part of the state. Crops grown here are primarily rain-fed as well as irrigated. Irrigated millet and vegetables are grown in a few pockets where perennial streams flow or large ponds exist (as at the edge of forests).
