They are identified by the Indian government and are given special rights and privileges in order to protect their culture and way of life.<\/p>\n<p>Assam is a state in northeastern India with a population of over 31 million people. According to the 2011 census, 12.6% of the population of Assam belongs to Scheduled Tribes. This makes Assam the state with the highest percentage of Scheduled Tribes in India.<\/p>\n<p>The main Scheduled Tribes in Assam are the Bodo, Karbi, Dimasa, Mishing, and Garo. These tribes have their own unique cultures and languages. They are mostly concentrated in the rural areas of the state.<\/p>\n<p>Scheduled Tribes face a number of challenges, including poverty, lack of education, and discrimination. The Indian government has implemented a number of programs to improve the lives of Scheduled Tribes, but there is still much work to be done.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the actual percentage of Scheduled Tribes in Assam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;5%&#8221;
