CENSUS OF INDIA 1981 LISTS OF SCHEDULED CASTES AND SCHEDULED TRIBES Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner for India Ministry of Home Affairs New Delhi PREFACE From 1951 Census onwards the cenSllS questionnaire contains items of enquiry to ascertain whether the respOlldt;nt belongs to a Scheduled Caste o~' a Scheduled Trit e and, if yes, the name of the Scheduled Caste/Tribe to which r.e belongs with a view to .colle<;ting information for discharging the Constitutional ocliga­ tions towards these communities. Tn the Individual Slip (universal) adopted for 1981 Census, Question 9 makes an enquiry atout the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe status and Question 10 about the name of the specific Scheduled Caste/Tribe. Likewise, the Question 3 of the Household Schedule enquires wh,ether the head of the household belQngs to SC or ST and Question 4 the name of the Scheduled CasteJTribe of the head of the household, if the answer to Question 3 is in 1Jhe affirmative. The statutpry lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are notified in pursuance of Articles 341 and 342 of the Constitution. Tile li_:«tf; of Scheduled Castes and Sch~duhld Tribes ;were notjfied for the first time under the Constitution (Scueduled Castes) Order, 1950 and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950, These li~ts have been modified ~r amended or supplell1ented 1"r0111 time to time. On the reorganisation of. the States, !he Sch<;:dlJ,led. Castes and S'cheduled T,ribes' (Modification) Older .f_;lme il}t9 force from 29th betober, 1956. l;'h!:!ft;:after" a ._few-. orders specifying Sch.eduled Cast.~s/,Tribes iIJ.~respe~t of a few indivic!l!ql States. also qamc, into fo(c.e. For instance, qle Constitution, (Jammu .• & Kashmir) Sehep_uled Castes prder was jssu~d in 1956, while the Constitution. (Dad~a & Nagar Haveli) ~chedul~d Castes and Scheduled Tribes Orders were issued in 1962. In -Uttar Prad!!sh the Scheduled Tribes were notIfied for ,the jir~titiJn(\! ill ,967 v·ide the ConstItution (Scheduled Tribes)'(lltW,' Pradesh). Q~der, 1.967. Likewise. the ConstltutlOn CfoI1dicherry) Sch~d:uled Castes Order was enforced in 1964. ]n ~ase ofUn~on Territory Qf G9a, Daman (i) (ii) and Diu the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Order was issued in 1968. Likewise, the Constitution (NagaJand) Scheduled Tribes Order came into force in 1970. Recently. the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 1976, has come into force, The main purpose of this Amendment Act was to remove area restrictions in respect of most of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The lists of Schedl;lled Castes and Scheduled Tribes appended to this Act are materially the same as contained in the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (M<;>di­ fication) Order, 1956. The only difference is that most of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are now notified through­ out the State unlike in the 1956 Order where in most cases these were notified in relation to different regions of the State, resulting in area restrictions. The Amendment Act of 1976, did not include the lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in respect of States/Union Territories like Chandigarh, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir and Pondicherry which were not affected by the Act. This necessitated referring to different Acts and Orders for the purpose of ascertaining the lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in different States and Union Territories. For instance, while in case of Andhra Pradesh, the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 1976, is fully applicable in resp~ct of Scheduled Castes as well as Scheduled Tribes, in case of D~lhi, the 1956 (Modification) Order has to be referred to. Likewise, in case of Janunu & Kashmir, the Consti­ tuti ln (Jammu & Kashmir) Scheduled Castes Order, 1956 is r~bvant, while in case of GJa, Daman and Diu, the Constitution (G n, Dlmln & Diu) Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Oider 1968 is relevant. In a few cases a -reference to different A~ts and Orders is necessary for ascertaining the lists of Scheduled Castes and S::h<!duled Tribes for the same state. For Uttar Pradesh, the Scheduled Castes ana Scheduled tribes Orders (Am~il.dm~nt) Act, 1976, is relevant for Scheduled Castes only, while for the Scheduled Tribes a reference is required to be made to the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) (Uttar Pradesh) Order, 1967, whiCh is still valid for the state. (iii) For the purpo<;es of enumeratiun at the 1981 Census, It W,l~ Idt that it will be useful to print a consolidated list of Scheduled Ca:>tc" and Scheduled Tribes in respect of these States and UOH)!l Territories based on the relevant Acts and Orders for refen:n.ce and use in the Census organisation.
