The Union Cabinet today gave its 'in principle' approval to the inclusion of two communities in Karnataka in the list of Scheduled Tribes.
According to the decision taken this evening, "Parivara and Talawara" will be "synonyms" of "Nayaka" in the list of STs in Karnataka.
It will fulfil a long-term demand of the Parivara and Talawara communities for Scheduled Tribe status in Karnataka, an official statement read.
People belonging to the Parivara and Talawara communities will be eligible for an ST certificate and benefits meant for STs in the state which goes to polls in May.
The Karnataka government had recommended inclusion of the Parivara and Talawara communities as synonyms of "Nayaka".
The first specification of STs in relation to a particular state or Union territory is by a notified order of the President, after consultation with the state concerned.
Any subsequent inclusion or exclusion and other modifications in the list of Scheduled Tribes can be made only through an amendment bill.
