Consider the following statements:1.It is the Governor of the State who recognizes and declares any community of that State as a Scheduled Tribe.2.A community declared as a Scheduled Tribe in a State need not to be so in another State.Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

1. A

   1 only

   1 only. The President notifies Scheduled Tribes under Article 342, not the Governor.

2. B

   2 only

   2 only. A community listed as ST in one State need not be ST in another.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Both. Statement 1 is false.

4. D

   Neither 2 nor 2

   Neither. Statement 2 is correctly keyed.

Summary. Official key is (b) 2 only. Article 342: the President specifies Scheduled Tribes for a State after consulting the Governor. The Governor does not “recognise and declare” the list. An ST in one State need not be ST in another — the lists are State-specific. So only 2 holds.
