Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Adivasis mean original inhabitants. Adivasis have lived in or near forest regions. Adivasis are engaged in cultivation, agriculture, hunting, gathering, etc. They are aware of the different plant species available in the forest and their utilities. They have always lived in close harmony with nature. However, with changes in forest policies and the intervention of the government and private industries, the Adivasis have been forcefully evicted from their land. Since the forest areas are rich in metal ores, timber, and other forest products and are also suitable for agriculture, the tribals are evicted from there.
The correct statement would be that Adivasis are communities that lived and often continue to live in close association with forest areas.
