Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill omits 'Abor' entry

This Bill amends the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950 to update the official list of Scheduled Tribes in the State of Arunachal Pradesh. It aims to correct names, remove duplicates, and specify particular tribal communities based on recommendations from the State government.

The Bill affects the tribal communities listed in Part XVIII of the Schedule to the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950, specifically those in the State of Arunachal Pradesh. It impacts individuals belonging to the groups named in the amendments (such as Tai Khamti, Mishmi-Kaman, Monpa, and Nocte) by defining their status as Scheduled Tribes for constitutional purposes.

• Omits entry 1 ('Abor') from the list for Arunachal Pradesh, as it is considered the same as 'Adi' (entry 16).
• Substitutes entry 6 with 'Tai Khamti' (replacing 'Khampti').
• Substitutes entry 8 with 'Mishmi-Kaman (Miju Mishmi), Idu (Mishmi), Taraon (Digaru Mishmi)' (replacing 'Mishmi, Idu, Taroan').
• Substitutes entry 9 with 'Monpa, Memba, Sartang, Sajolang (Miji)' (replacing 'Momba').
• Substitutes entry 10 with 'Nocte, Tangsa, Tutsa, Wancho' (replacing 'Any Naga Tribes').
