    Topic: - Scheduled Tribes - Indian Polity Notes

    Scheduled Tribes
    The Constitution of India does not give any definition for Scheduled Tribes. According to Article 366(25) of
    the Constitution, Scheduled Tribes are those communities who are scheduled in accordance with Article 342
    of the Constitution. Also, Article 342 of the Constitution says that: The Scheduled Tribes are the tribes or
    tribal communities or part of or groups within these tribes and tribal communities which have been declared
    as such by the President through a public notification.

    Scheduled Tribes in India


    According to the 2011 Census, the Scheduled Tribes account for 104 million representing 8.6% of the
    country’s population. These Scheduled Tribes are spread throughout the country largely in forest and hilly
    regions.

     The essential characteristics of these communities are:-


    o Primitive Traits
    o Geographical isolation
    o Distinct culture
    o Shy of contact with community at large
    o Economically backwards
     As in the case of the SCs, the Plan objective of empowering the tribals is being achieved through a
    three-pronged strategy of social empowerment, economic empowerment and social justice.

    Note on Primitive Tribal Groups

    There are certain tribal communities who have declining or stagnant population among these scheduled
    tribes. They have a low level of literacy, possess a pre-agricultural level of technology and are economically
    backward.
     75 such groups in 17 States and 1 Union Territory have been identified and categorized as Primitive
    Tribal Groups (PTGs).
     A majority of these groups have not attained any significant level of social and economic progress.
    They generally inhabit remote localities which have poor infrastructure and barely any administrative
    support.
     This makes them the most vulnerable sections among the scheduled tribes and a priority is required
    to be accorded for their protection, keeping in check the declining trend of their population and their
    development.

    UPSC Questions related to Scheduled Tribes in India


    What is the difference between 5th Schedule and 6th Schedule?
     Article 244 in Part X of the Constitution envisages a special system of administration for certain
    areas designated as ‘scheduled areas and ‘tribal areas’.
     The Fifth Schedule of the Constitution deals with the administration and control of scheduled areas
    and scheduled tribes in many states except the four states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and
    Mizoram.
     While the Sixth Scheduled of the Constitution deals with the administration of the tribal areas in the
    four north-eastern states of Assam Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram.
    It makes special provisions for “tribal areas”. The rationality behind the special arrangements is that:
     The tribes in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram have not assimilated much
    with the life and ways of the other people in these states.
     These areas have hitherto been anthropological specimens.
     The tribes in these 4 states still have their roots in their own culture, customs and
    civilization.
