How does the process outlined in this section contribute to the overall development and advancement of Scheduled Tribes?
The process outlined in this section contributes to the overall development and advancement of Scheduled Tribes by establishing a commission responsible for investigating matters related to their protection, welfare, and socio-economic development. This commission is authorized to make recommendations regarding measures that should be taken by the Union or any State for effective implementation of safeguards and other measures for the protection and welfare of the Scheduled Tribes. The President causes these reports to be laid before each House of Parliament, along with a memorandum explaining the action taken or proposed on the recommendations, including reasons for non-acceptance if any. Additionally, if any report relates to matters concerning a State government, it is forwarded to the Governor and then laid before the State Legislature with similar explanations. The Commission also possesses powers of a civil court trying a suit, which enables it to effectively investigate matters and inquire into complaints related to Scheduled Tribes' welfare and development.
