The author greatly acknowledges the UGC for its funding to carryout out the project. This study aims to assess the performance of the scheduled tribe elected village panchayat presidents in Tamil Nadu and to bring out the interrelationship between various subject dimensions of the study under consideration. The participants (Male = 95, Female = 53, N = 148) were scheduled tribe elected panchayat presidents in Tamil Nadu. A self prepared pre tested interview schedule was used for data collection. Results show that most of them were school dropouts and their level of education was ranging from primary school to middle school level engaged in agriculture and as agriculture labourers. The level of performance was found higher among the respondents in the young age group. The performance of men is found better than the women counterparts. The respondents with no education (illiterates) reported low level of performance than the literates. The statistical analysis shows that there is a significant difference between the sex, marital status, caste group, and level of education, occupational categories, level of family income and the place of living in the mean score of the performance of the respondents. When the education, income, knowledge about roles and responsibilities and support score increases, then the performance score of the respondents also increases. Likewise, as age and gender discrimination score increases, then the performance score of the respondents decreases. The findings also reveal that the overall performance of the scheduled tribe village panchayat presidents reported as poor. | | Keywords : | | - Scheduled Tribe, Panchayat Presidents, Tamil Nadu, Performance .,
