Tribes also called Adivasi are vibrant, culturally rich and have different traditions, lifestyles, beliefs, food, languages, rituals and a different approach to their lives. For integrated tribal development in regions with significant tribal populations, the government set up Large-Scale Adivasi Multi-Purpose Societies in 1973, popularly known as LAMPS. The present investigation was conducted in Karnataka during 2022-23 to study NTFPs collected by members of LAMPS. In Karnataka out of 23 LAMPS, 10 LAMPS with the highest membership were selected purposively for the study.

Data were collected by personal interview method by using a structured interview schedule. The results showed that respondents collected different NTFPs among them honey was collected by majority of the respondents. Respondents showed less technical efficiency in collecting NTFPs.
