In India, the tribes have been designated as “Scheduled Tribes” under the Constitution. There is a procedure for including tribal groups in the Scheduled list. Communities are notified as Scheduled Tribes under Article 342 of the Constitution based on the characteristics such as:
primitive traits,geographically isolated,a distinct culture, andshyness of contact with the communityat large, andeconomically backward.
The benefit of labeling as ST: The community becomes entitled to some constitutional protections and developmental programs designed to end their marginalization and help assimilate into mainstream society.
What are Scheduled Caste: Hindu “low-caste” communities which have historically faced discrimination and exclusion at the hands of “upper-caste” people.
Tribal Population and Distribution: India is among few nations in the world with a sizeable tribal population in different parts of the country. There are 573 different tribal communities spread all over India. As per official data, only 258 tribal communities speaking about 106 different languages are notified as “Scheduled Tribes”. About 80 percent of tribal populations are to be found along the Central India belt and the rest 20 percent are in the North‐Eastern States, Southern States, and Island groups. The numerically strong Scheduled tribe groups include Santhals, Gonds, Bhil, and Oraon. Smaller tribal groups are to be found in A&N Islands (Andamanese, Onges) and Kerala‐Tamil Nadu (Paniyans and Kattunaickens). 75 tribal groups have been categorized as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) (Earlier known as Primitive Tribal Groups (PTG)) for special development assistance.
According to 2001 Census, the population of Scheduled Tribes in the country was 8.4 crore, constituting about 8.2 percent of the total population. The sex ratio of the Scheduled Tribe population was 978 females per thousand males; better than the national average and those of the Scheduled Castes.
