Announcements in the Interim Budget 2019:
- Formation of a committee under the Niti Aayog, which would identify and classify these tribes.
- Constitution of a Welfare Board under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment for the purpose of implementing welfare and development programmes for denotified, nomadic and semi-nomadic communities.
About the earlier attempt for classification:
- National Commission for Denotified, Nomadic And Semi-Nomadic Tribes headed by Dada Idate had prepared state-wise lists.
- But this list drew a lot of criticisms including from the researchers who were working with the commission.
- It was criticised that the Idate commission lacked the scientific data necessary to bring out a comprehensive classification of denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Communities.
About the vulnerability of these Communities:
- Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Communities are considered to be the most deprived sections of Indian society.
- These communities are hard to reach and less visible.
- The nomadic and semi-nomadic communities move from place to place in search of livelihood.
- As a result, they are frequently left out.
- Hence to address the issues related to these communities, there is a need for special attention.
- The Renke Commission and the Idate Commission have done commendable work in studying the various problems faced by these communities and recommending measures to address the issues more comprehensively.
