STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

According to the provisions of articles 341 and 342 of the Constitution, the lists of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes were notified during the year 1950 in respect of various States and Union territories. These lists were modified from time to time. A number of requests were received from time to time from the State Governments of Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and Tripura for inclusion of certain tribes or tribal communities, equivalent names or synonyms of certain tribes or communities, in the lists of Scheduled Tribes.

2. Accordingly, the lists of the Scheduled Tribes are proposed to be modified in respect of the States of Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and Tripura after consultation with the State Governments concerned, the Registrar General of India and the National Commission for the Scheduled Tribes.

3. The Constitution (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) Orders (Amendment) Bill, 2016 proposes to—

(i) transfer of "Bhogta" community in respect of the State of Jharkhand from the list of Scheduled Castes to the list of Scheduled Tribes;

(ii) include certain communities in the lists of Scheduled Tribes relating to the States of Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and Tripura.

4. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objects.
