Caste Certificates of Nomadic, Semi-Nomadic and De-Notified Tribes

The caste certificates of such Nomadic, Semi-Nomadic and De-Notified Tribe communities which are already included in the SC or ST or OBC categories are valid for benefits given to these caste categories.

The State-wise number of Nomadic, Semi-Nomadic and De-Notified Tribes is given in Annexure.

Further, there are several Nomadic, Semi-Nomadic and De-Notified Tribe communities which are not included in any of the list. In order to take decision in these cases, study is being taken up through the Anthropological Survey of India.
