Scheduled Tribes

Scheduled Tribes (STs) refer to specific communities in India recognized by the Constitution for their distinct cultures, languages, and ways of life. They often inhabit remote areas and have historically faced social and economic disadvantages. To uplift these communities, the government provides various protections and benefits, including reservations in education and employment. ST status aims to ensure their development while preserving their unique identities. The recognition and support seek to empower these groups and help bridge the socio-economic gap between them and the broader population.
