The Ministry of Tribal Affairs The Ministry of Tribal Affairs was
set up in 1999, after the bifurcation of the Ministry of Social

Empowerment with the objective of providing a more focused approach
on the development of the STs. Before the formation of this
Ministry, tribal affairs were being handled by different Ministries
as given below:
1. As a Division of the Ministry of Home Affairs named as ‘Tribal
Division’ since Independence up to September, 1985. 2. The Ministry
of Welfare from September 1985 to May 1998. 3. The Ministry of
Social Justice & Empowerment from May 1998 to September
1999.
PVTG (Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups) They are more
vulnerable among the tribal groups. Due to this factor, more
developed and assertive tribal groups take a major chunk of the
tribal development funds,
because of which PVTGs need more funds directed for their
development. In 1975, the Government of India initiated to identify
the most vulnerable tribal groups as a separate category
called
PVTGs and declared 52 such groups. In 1993 an additional 23 groups
were added to the category, making it a total of 75 PVTGs. PVTGs
have some basic characteristics -
They are mostly homogenous, with a small population, relatively
physically isolated, absence of written language, relatively simple
technology and a slower rate of change etc.
Most of these groups have not attained significant levels of
educational, economic progress and are having low health
indices.
Among the 75 listed PVTG’s the highest number are found in
Odisha.
