The Constitution of India framed by the Drafting Committee under the Chairmanship of our great leader Baba Saheb Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar was passed in the house of the parliament and enacted for the world largest democratic, secular, socialist and republic union of India to enable its citizens to enjoy the various fundamental rights and privileges. The Article 342 of the Indian Constitution specifies the state-wise list of the Scheduled Tribe communities in India and was notified by the Presidential directives being the Constitution (Scheduled Tribe) Order 1950 dated 06.09.1950 to protect and safe guard the interest and opportunities of the tribal people for getting admission to the educational institutions, appointments in Government services and to hold the public administrative office as an elected representative through the posts / vacancies reserved for the Scheduled Tribe category of people.
