The Constitution (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) Orders (Amendment) Bill, 2022 was taken up in Rajya Sabha for consideration on Tuesday. Moving the Bill, Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda said the Bill amends the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950 to omit Bhogta community from the list of Scheduled Castes in relation to Jharkhand. It also amends the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950 for inclusion of certain communities in the lists of Scheduled Tribes in Jharkhand.
