National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Formed by bifurcating the SC/ST Commission via the 89th Amendment (2003). Dedicated to tribal welfare, it investigates rights violations, monitors the Fifth and Sixth Schedule areas, and evaluates the effectiveness of protective measures. The Commission’s annual and special reports to Parliament detail challenges such as displacement, forest rights, and cultural assimilation threats. Empowered to advise on policy matters, NCST underscores tribal identity, land rights, and socioeconomic upliftment. Like NCSC, it can summon records, examine witnesses, and coordinate with civil society. However, entrenched exploitation demands consistent advocacy, policy interventions, and collaboration with state-level bodies for tangible improvements in tribal communities.
