Scheduled Tribes Recognition

Scheduled Tribes (ST) Recognition refers to the official acknowledgment of specific tribal communities by the government in India. This recognition is intended to promote their social, economic, and educational development, as these groups often face marginalization. The Indian Constitution establishes a list of Scheduled Tribes, granting them certain rights and benefits, such as reservations in education and employment. The aim is to protect their unique cultures and improve their living conditions, ensuring they have a fair opportunity to participate in national development while preserving their distinct identities.
