SCHEDULED TRIBES.
Thirty-two Scheduled Tribes have been declared as such only for three talukas, viz., Wani, Kelapur and Yavatmal. Out of them 16 Scheduled Tribes were reported in the notified area in the 1961 Census. This section deals only with those tribes and that too limited to their population in the notified area. It should he-noted that because of the area restrictions, there are no Scheduled Tribes in Pusad and Darvha talukas.
The distribution of their population by rural and urban areas is as shown in the following table: —
