The correct answer is (b) 2003.
The Government of India included ten new tribes of Uttar Pradesh as Scheduled Tribes in 2003. These tribes are:
- Baiga
- Bhil
- Bhuiya
- Gond
- Kanwar
- Kawar
- Korku
- Majhi
- Maria
- Muria
These tribes were included in the Scheduled Tribes list after a long struggle by their representatives. The struggle was led by the All India Adivasi Congress (AIAC), which is a political party that represents the interests of the tribal people of India.
The inclusion of these tribes in the Scheduled Tribes list has given them a number of benefits, including:
- Reservation in government jobs and educational institutions
- Special development programs
- Protection from exploitation
The inclusion of these tribes in the Scheduled Tribes list is a significant step towards ensuring their social and economic development.
