- The Anthropological Survey of India (AnSI) and Tribal Research Institutes (TRIs) have, for the first time, comprehensively categorised 268 Denotified, semi-nomadic, and nomadic tribes that previous commissions believed had never been classified.
- The three-year-long study was commissioned by a NITI Aayog panel.
- It has recommended the inclusion of 179 of these communities in SC, ST, and OBCs (Central) lists of 26 States and union territories.
- At least 85 of these are being recommended as fresh additions to these lists.
- Among the fresh additions, 46 communities have been recommended for OBC status, 29 for SC status, and 10 for Scheduled Tribe status.
- The greatest number of fresh additions were recommended for Uttar Pradesh (19), followed by Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan at eight each.
- The study had also concluded that 63 communities (over 20%) studied were “not traceable” anymore.
