Last updated: 2026-11-13 · MockMentor
India's Scheduled Tribe population is 10.45 crore (Census 2011), across more than 705 tribal communities. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) runs schemes on a saturation and convergence model: bringing housing, roads, water, health and education of many ministries to tribal villages together, with special attention to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs).
