## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SMT. RENUKA SINGH SARUTA)

(a): State/Union Territory wise details of Scheduled Tribes (STs) notified in the Country under Article 342 of the Constitution of India are given at Annexure.

(b): Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  is  implementing  two  schemes  namely  'Support  to  Tribal  Research Institutes (TRIs)' and 'Tribal Festival, Research, Information and Mass Education'. Funds are provided by  the  Ministry  to  strengthen  and  support  the  TRIs  in  their  infrastructure  needs,  research  & documentation activities, evidence based action and applied research to find solution and create replicate models of development, construction and maintenance of tribal museums, organization of tribal festivals, programs for promotion of tribal custom, traditions and cultural heritage in dance, music, painting etc. and training and capacity building programs.

Further, through the scheme 'Tribal Festival, Research Information and Mass Education', promotion of rich tribal cultural heritage, dissemination of information and creation of awareness are given attention to  which  includes  organization  of  tribal  craft  &  food  festivals,  sports,  music,  dance  &  photo competitions, science, art & craft Expos, workshops, seminars, production of documentary films by the Ministry  &  States,  bringing  out  publications  thereby  highlighting  significant  studies,  documenting historical  facets  of  tribal  communities,  achievements  of  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  (MoTA)  &  State departments, etc.  With a view to fill the gap of research studies on tribal issues, MoTA recognizes renowned Non Government Organisations (NGOs), Research Institutes, Universities where expertise exist and which have already made a mark by carrying out pioneering research in the field of tribal cultures as Centre of Excellences (CoEs). It is envisaged that CoEs should play an important role in building knowledge bank to complement dedicated institutions i.e., Tribal Research Institutes in the States for devising appropriate strategies for tribal development by the Government.

(c): New Education Policy, 2020 (NEP 2020) aims to ensure that no child loses any opportunity to learn and excel because of the circumstances of birth or background. It proposes special emphasis to be given on  Socially  and  Economically  Disadvantaged  Groups  (SEDGs)  which  include  gender  identities (particularly female and transgender individuals), socio-cultural identities (such as scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, other backward classes and minorities), geographical identities (such as students from villages, small towns, and aspirational districts), disabilities (including learning disabilities) and socioeconomic conditions.

Implementation of the Policy requires multiple initiatives and actions, which will have to be taken by different bodies in a synchronized and systematic manner. Therefore, the implementation of this Policy is  led  by  various bodies including Union and State Governments, education-related Ministries, State Departments of Education, Boards, National Testing Agency (NTA), the regulatory bodies of school and higher education, National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs), Schools and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Since education  is  a  concurrent  subject,  it  will  need  careful  planning,  joint  monitoring,  and  collaborative implementation between the Centre and States.

(d): Section 29 (2 ) (f) of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 states that 'medium of instruction shall, as far as practicable, be in child's mother tongue'.

NEP 2020 inter-alia states that one of the fundamental principles of National Education Policy-2020 is 'promoting multilingualism and the power of language in teaching and learning'. NEP 2020 states that wherever possible, the medium of instruction until at least Grade 5, but preferably till Grade 8 and beyond, will  be  the  home  language/mother  tongue/local  language/regional  language.  Thereafter,  the home/local language shall continue to be taught as a language wherever possible. It further recommends for use of mother tongue/local language as a medium of instruction, and/or offer programmes bilingually in the higher education system.

One  of  the  major  features  of  the  scheme  'Samagra  Shiksha'  of  Ministry  of  Education,  for improving the access, infrastructure and quality of education throughout the country is provision of free textbooks  to  all  children  and  free  uniforms  to  all  girls,  SC,  ST  and  BPL  boys  at  elementary  level including primers/textbooks for tribal languages with bridging materials.

Further,  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  extends  support  to  State  Governments  /  UTs  for  mother tongue-based education and development of bilingual Primers for enhancement of learning achievement level amongst the Scheduled Tribe Students.
