UPSC 2024: Consider the following statements : 1. It is the Governor of the State who recognizes and declares any community of that State as a Scheduled Tribe. 2. A community declared as a Scheduled Tribe in a State need not be so in another State. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both1land2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
Under Article 342(1), the President—not the Governor—specifies the tribes or tribal communities that shall be deemed Scheduled Tribes for a particular State after consulting that State’s Governor; hence statement 1 is incorrect. Because the list is state-wise, a community recognised as an ST in one State need not enjoy the same status in another, so statement 2 is correct. Therefore only statement 2 is correct (option b).
