Revision of the list of Scheduled Tribes in the States of Manipur & Arunachal Pradesh

20:29 IST

The Cabinet has today approved the proposal of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs to introduce a Bill in Parliament for inclusion of six communities namely Inpui, Liangmai, Rongmei, Thangal, Zeme and Mate in the list of Scheduled Tribes in the State of Manipur by amending the existing entries at S.No. 8, 9 and 10 and by inserting a new entry (relating to “Mate”) at S.No. 34; and substitution of “Galo” in place of “Galong” at S.No.5 in the list of Scheduled Tribes in Arunachal Pradesh. This will fulfil the long term demand from these deserving communities for granting them Scheduled Tribes status in the state of Manipur.


It will also fulfil a long term demand of “Galong” community notified as Scheduled Tribe in the State of Arunachal Pradesh for it’s substitution by “Galo” as the word “Galong” is merely a distorted version of the original word “Galo”.

The proposed Bill will be placed before the Parliament. After passing of the Bill by the both Houses of the Parliament, the assent of the Hon’ble President of India will be obtained for notifying the changes.

The persons belonging to Inpui, Liangmai, Rongmei, Thangal, Zeme and Mate will be eligible to get the Scheduled Tribes’ Certificates from the State Government of Manipur and will be eligible to enjoy all benefits meant for Scheduled Tribes in the State of Manipur.

Further, the persons belonging to “Galong” community will get the revised Scheduled Tribe’s Certificates from the State Government of Arunachal Pradesh in the name of “Galo” and continue to get the benefits meant for Scheduled Tribes in the State of Arunachal Pradesh.
