The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday approved The Constitution (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2022 to remove the Bhogta caste from the list of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and include additional communities in the list.
The Bhogta caste will be included instead as a Scheduled Tribes in the State.
The government keeps amending the lists originally notified in 1950, based on requests made by the States.
