It is not only the first social impact assessment research on industrialisation in India but one of the pioneering studies on development caused displacement and resettlement at the global level. The application of anthropological knowledge for the development and welfare of the tribal populations in the post-independence period became a major thrust area of study for the anthropologists and notable contributions in this field were made by Verrier Elwin, Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf, L.P.Vidyarthi, B.N.Sahay, Sachchidananda, B.K.RoyBurman and others. The physical anthropologists in India have also contributed immensely not only in the study of the classification of human groups on the basis of the biological characters but also in the bio-social fields of human growth,nutrition and health in the context of society and culture. The colonial ‘Physical Anthropology’ (represented by H.H.Risley and his classification of the Indian population into ‘Races’) gradually transformed into much wider ‘Human Biology’, which devoted itself to the task of building a healthy nation. The development of world anthropologies has followed different trajectories. 20th-century developments In the mid-20th century, American anthropology began to study its own history more systematically. In 1967 Marvin Harris published his The Rise of Anthropological Theory, presenting argumentative examinations of anthropology's historical developments, and George W. Stocking, Jr., established the historicist school, examining the historical contexts of anthropological movements.
