Abstract:
The Kom tribe of Manipur with a population of 15,988 (2001, census) are concentrated in Churachandpur and Senapati districts of Manipur. The sex ratio is 1021.24; General Fertility rate is 81.56. Though having a high literacy rate (73.24%), their accessibility to health facilities is very low which is reflected in their causes of death - unknown (55.74%), followed by diarrhea, T.B. and birth related deaths. An attempt has also been made to review different views of their genesis and identity.
