Who are the Scheduled Tribes?

Scheduled Tribes (STs) refer to specific indigenous communities that are recognized by the Constitution of India as socially and economically disadvantaged groups requiring special protection and support. These communities have historically faced exclusion, marginalization, and limited access to resources and opportunities due to geographic isolation, cultural differences, and systemic discrimination. The Constitution of India, through Article 342, provides for the identification and listing of Scheduled Tribes in different states and union territories. This identification is done by the President of India in consultation with the respective state governments. The list of Scheduled Tribes is not uniform across the country, as tribal communities are recognized based on specific criteria such as primitive traits, distinctive culture, geographical isolation, and backwardness in comparison to other sections of society.

In the context of the business environment, understanding the socio-economic position and contribution of Scheduled Tribes is important for inclusive development, ethical corporate practices, and sustainable growth. Scheduled Tribes constitute around 8.6% of India’s population according to the 2011 Census and are predominantly located in forested, hilly, or remote regions. They have traditionally depended on agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and artisan-based occupations.
