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

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:

The inclusion of these tribes in the Scheduled Tribes list is a significant step towards ensuring their social and economic development.
