communities as are deemed under article 342 to be Scheduled Tribes for the purposes of

this Constitution;”.

2. Article 342 of the Constitution provides as under:—

“342. Scheduled Tribes.—(1) The President may with respect to any State or

Union territory, and where it is a State, after consultation with the Governor thereof,

by public notification, specify the tribes or tribal communities or parts of or groups

within tribes or tribal communities which shall for the purposes of this Constitution

be deemed to be Scheduled Tribes in relation to that State or Union territory, as the

case may be.

(2) Parliament may by law include in or exclude from the list of Scheduled

Tribes specified in a notification issued under clause (1) any tribe or tribal community

or part of or group within any tribe or tribal community, but save as aforesaid a

notification issued under the said clause shall not be varied by any subsequent

notification.”.

modified through the North Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971, the Scheduled Castes

and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 2002, the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes)

Order (Amendment) Act, 2008 and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment)

Act, 2011.

4. At present, there are eighteen communities with their synonyms appearing in the

illustrative list of Scheduled Tribes in respect of State of Arunachal Pradesh.

5. On the basis of recommendations of State of Arunachal Pradesh, it has been decided

to modify Part-XVIII of the Schedule to the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950

relating to State of Arunachal Pradesh as follows:—

(a) deletion of 'Abor' in serial No. 1, as it is the same as 'Adi' in serial No. 16;

(Digaru Mishmi)' in serial No. 8 in lieu of 'Mishmi, Idu, Taroan';

lieu of 'Momba';

(e) inclusion of 'Nocte', 'Tangsa', 'Tutsa', 'Wancho' in lieu of 'Any Naga Tribes'

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

The Bill seeks to amend the Constitution (Schedule Tribes) Order, 1950, by amending

the list of Scheduled Tribes in the State of Arunachal Pradesh.

2. The amendment in the list of Scheduled Tribes relating to the State of Arunachal

Pradesh will entail no additional recurring expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of

India on account of benefits likely to be provided to persons belonging to the communities

proposed in the Bill. This Ministry is already funding for welfare of 10.45 crores Scheduled

Tribes population (Census, 2011). Further, the Scheduled Tribes are also eligible for benefits

under the Scheduled Tribes Component (STC) of schemes under the Central Government

and State Governments. The expenditure will be accommodated within the approved

budgetary outlay of the Government.
