2. Introduction
INDIA
•
Determination of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population
is mandatory in each decennial Census since 1951. The lists of the
Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes are notified in respect of
each State and Union Territory separately in pursuance of Articles 341
and 342 of the Constitution.
•
These lists are State and Area specific and are valid only within the
jurisdiction of that State or Union Territory and not outside. In each
decennial census since 1951, Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes
population have been enumerated.
•
According to the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Orders
(Amendment) Act, 1990, Scheduled Castes can only belong to Hindu
or Sikh or Buddhist religions. There is no religion bar in case of
Scheduled Tribes.
