It has been designed to provide information on various facets of Scheduled Tribes in India. It covers a wide range of statistics including macroeconomic, demographic, education, health, investment, poverty and status of ST women along with social and environmental statistics. Through this Statistical Profi le, the Ministry endeavours to provide in a single volume a comprehensive compilation of available statistics on social and economic conditions and activities of the Scheduled Tribes in India, at the National and State level, covering as far as possible a ten-year period. While most of the statistics presented in the Statistical Profi leare extracted from more detailed databases prepared by the other Ministries of Government of India who play a major role in implementing programmes for education, social justice, health, economic and social empowerment of disadvantaged Scheduled Tribe population, it also contains information on important schemes and programmes implemented by this Ministry.

Data published in the Statistical Profi le may also be of interest to companies and enterprises and to agencies engaged in market research, governments and non-governmental organizations, national statistical, economic and social policy bodies, scientifi c and educational institutions, libraries and prove to be a valuable resource for users. I place on record the excellent work done by the Statistics Division of this Ministry under the able guidance of Mr. S.K. Gupta, DDG.
