Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Orders (Amendment) Act

The Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Orders (Amendment) Act is legislation that modifies existing laws to better recognize and protect the rights of Scheduled Castes (historically oppressed communities) and Scheduled Tribes (indigenous groups) in India. It aims to clarify eligibility criteria, prevent discrimination, and ensure equitable access to opportunities and resources. By updating these orders, the Act helps safeguard the social, educational, and economic interests of these marginalized groups, promoting inclusion and equality within Indian society.
