Consider the following pairs regarding tribal communities and their primary geographic habitats within state administrative divisions:

1. Birhor – Forested plateau regions of Chota Nagpur (Hazaribagh and Ranchi districts)
2. Dongria Kondh – Niyamgiri hill ranges spanning Rayagada and Kalahandi districts
3. Chenchu – Nallamala forest region surrounding the Srisailam plateau
