Ministry of Tribal Affairs had prepared a draft National Tribal Policy (NTP) in the year 2006. Consultations were held with all stakeholders on the draft NTP. Meanwhile, certain legislative and policy changes have taken place which necessitates further revision of the draft Policy. Further, a High Level Committee (HLC) was also constituted to prepare a status paper on socio-economic status of Scheduled Tribes and suggest a way forward.
As the recommendations contained in the Report of HLC would have far reaching implications on policy formulation, it has been felt that a new comprehensive, concise and focused National Tribal Policy be brought out. No time line has been stipulated for formulating the Policy. All stakeholders would be consulted as and when the policy is formulated.
