The Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill 2011 pertains to the State of Arunachal Pradesh. This Bill aimed to modify the list of Scheduled Tribes in Arunachal Pradesh by including or modifying certain tribes to ensure that all deserving communities were recognized under the Scheduled Tribes category.
Information Booster:
Scheduled Tribes (STs) are indigenous communities recognized by the Indian Constitution for the purpose of granting them special privileges, protection, and reservations. The ST list can be modified by Parliament through an amendment to the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950. The inclusion of a tribe into this list is crucial as it ensures access to various socio-economic benefits and reservations in education, employment, and political representation.
Additional Knowledge:
· Madhya Pradesh: Has a significant ST population, but this particular amendment was not related to the State.
· Andhra Pradesh: Also has a considerable ST population, but this Bill did not pertain to it.
· Assam: While Assam has a large number of tribal communities, the 2011 amendment Bill was not related to this State.
