Abstract:

 The present paper aims to study the spatial patterns of work participation of scheduled caste population in last four decades (1971-2001). The entire study is based upon the district level secondary data obtained from Census of India, 1971, 1981,1991 and 2001. From the results it is clear that the spatial distribution of scheduled caste work participation before bifurcation of the state was high in the Himalayan region and low in the western part of the state. But after the division it is found that scheduled caste work participation is high in the southern and eastern part of the state and western part of the state is showing low work participation of scheduled caste population.
