The present paper endeavors to analyze the role of big data as a potent measure to resolve complex tribal issues and facilities to promote multifaceted development of tribal communities. Big data technically refers to data sets so large and complex that traditional tools like relational databases are unable to process them in an acceptable time frame or within a reasonable cost range problems occur in sourcing, moving, searching, storing and analyzing the data, but with the right tools these problems can be overcome. Big data with the combination of predictive, analytics use / behavior analytics, or certain other advanced data analytical methods can play vital role with respect to the problems of tribal communities which comprise land alienation, poverty, indebtedness, health, nutrition and education. Big data with advanced tools can process the data related to these problems and reveal meaningful information which will definitely make policy formulation and decision making easier and more accurate.
