A "Scheduled Tribe" refers to a specific group of indigenous people recognized by the government in countries like India. These communities often have distinct cultural practices, languages, and social structures. They are listed in the Constitution to ensure their rights and provide them with certain benefits, such as reservations in education and employment. Scheduled Tribes typically inhabit remote areas and may rely on traditional livelihoods, such as agriculture, hunting, or gathering. The government aims to promote their development while preserving their unique identities and traditions. This classification helps address historical disadvantages faced by these communities.
