<h1>Constitutional Amendment Creates Separate Commission for Scheduled Tribes, Amends Article 338, Adds Article 338-A for Tribal Welfare.</h1> The Constitution (89th Amendment) Act, 2003, proposes the establishment of a separate National Commission for the Scheduled Tribes by dividing the existing National Commission for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. This decision stems from the recognition that Scheduled Tribes have distinct geographical and cultural characteristics and face different challenges compared to Scheduled Castes. The amendment aims to enhance the focus on tribal welfare by creating a dedicated commission comprising a Chairperson and two Members, while the National Commission for the Scheduled Castes will include a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and three Members. This requires amending Article 338 and adding Article 338-A to the Constitution.
