	Scheduled Castes and Tribes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are communities that are accorded special status by the Constitution of India.
		The Scheduled Tribes were unable to participate in the community life of the Indian Society and were thus deprived of any opportunity for integration with the rest of the society and corresponding opportunities for educational, social and economic growth.
		The Scheduled Caste peoples are also known as Dalits; Scheduled Tribe people are also referred to as Adivasis.

		Likewise, question 3 of the household scheduled enquires whether the head of the household belongs to scheduled caste or scheduled tribe and question 4 the name of the scheduled caste/tribe of the head of the household, if the answer to question 3 is in the affirmative.
		If a person merely claimed to be a scheduled caste or scheduled tribe, but said that he/she did not belong to any of the notified communities applicable to the area, as reflected in the list supplied to the enumerator, he/she was not reckoned as belonging to a scheduled caste or a scheduled tribe.
		If the person belonging to a scheduled caste or scheduled tribe returned his caste or tribe by any synonym or generic name of the caste or tribe not mentioned in the list, he was not eligible to be entered as belonging to a scheduled caste or tribe.

		The Scheduled Tribes, also referred to as adivasis (original inhabitants), are spread across the central, northeast, and southern regions of India.
