Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs)
✅ Some tribes are identified as PVTGs due to their higher vulnerability among tribal groups, previously classified as primitive tribal groups.
✅Total Groups: 76 tribal groups designated as Special Backward Tribes by the Government of India. Odisha highest number of PVTGs
Most Vulnerable Groups:
✅ Shompen
✅ Sentinelese
✅ Jarawas of Andaman and Nicobar
✅ Bonda of Odisha
✅ Chola Naikkan of Kerala
✅ Abuj Madia of Chhattisgarh
✅ Birhors of Jharkhand
✅PVTGs have some basic characteristics - they are mostly homogenous, with a small
population, relatively physically isolated, social institutes cast in a simple mould, absence of written language, relatively simple technology and a slower rate of change etc.
✅ The Government of India follows the following criteria for identification of PVTGs:
i. Pre-agricultural level of technology
ii. Low level of literacy
iii. Economic backwardness
iv. A declining or stagnant population
- Historical Context:
✅Dhebar Commission (1973) introduced the category of Primitive Tribe, renamed to PVTG in 2006.
✅Forest Rights Law grants habitat area rights to these tribes by the Central Government.
✅In 2003, a committee chaired by Professor Virginia Xaxa advocated for PVTG habitat rights, based on the recommendation of the Student Task Force.
