National Commission for Scheduled Tribes

The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) is an Indian constitutional body established to protect and promote the rights and welfare of Scheduled Tribes (STs). It monitors government policies, addresses grievances, and recommends measures for their development. The NCST plays a crucial role in ensuring that STs receive proper representation, social justice, and access to various programs aimed at improving their socioeconomic conditions. The commission also investigates issues affecting STs and advises the government on policy matters to safeguard their interests and promote their integration into society while respecting their unique cultural identities.
