National Scheduled Tribes Commission

The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) is a government agency in India that works to protect the rights and interests of Scheduled Tribes, which are indigenous communities recognized for their distinct cultures and historical marginalization. The NCST advises the government on policies, monitors the implementation of laws related to tribal welfare, and ensures that their social, educational, and economic development needs are addressed. It serves as a bridge between tribal communities and the government, advocating for their fair treatment and safeguarding their cultural heritage.
