Schedule Tribes

Scheduled Tribes are specific indigenous communities recognized by the Indian government for their unique cultures, traditions, and social disadvantages. This classification aims to provide them with affirmative action, such as reserved seats in education, jobs, and government programs, to promote their social and economic development. These tribes often live in remote or forested areas and may face challenges like limited access to resources and opportunities. The recognition helps protect their rights, preserve their cultural heritage, and ensure they have a fair chance to participate in the country's development.
