Upper House approves bill to add 6 communities in ST list
Hindustan Times
|July 26, 2023
The Rajya Sabha on Tuesday passed the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Fifth Amendment) Bill, 2022, which aims to include the Dhanuhar, Dhanuwar, Kisan, Saunra, Saonra and Binjhia communities of Chhattisgarh in the list of scheduled tribes amid a noisy introduction followed by the Opposition walking out.
The legislation seeks to formalise Bhuinya, Bhuiyan and Bhuyan as synonyms of the Bharia Bhumia community and includes three Devanagari versions of the name of the Pando community. It was passed in the Lok Sabha in December through a voice note.
The bill was moved by tribal affairs minister Arjun Munda.
"Tribals have been deprived of development since Independence but Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has taken many steps for their development," Bharatiya Janata Party member Samir Oraon said, while speaking in favour of the draft law.
Ramdas Athawale, junior minister for social justice and empowerment, alleged that the Opposition never gave a thought to uplift tribal communities.
