Difficulty: MediumState Demographics, Tribes, and Human Development

Consider the following statements regarding the tribal demographics and Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) of the state:

1. The Birhor and Hill Korwa tribes are recognized as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) residing predominantly in hilly and forested regions.
2. In state census demographic profiles, the district recording the highest overall population density also records the highest literacy rate among the Scheduled Tribe population.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. 1 onlyAnswer
  2. B
    2 only
  3. C
    Both 1 and 2
  4. D
    Neither 1 nor 2

Answer

The statement that Birhor and Hill Korwa are recognized PVTGs is correct, whereas high tribal literacy does not necessarily correlate with the most densely populated urban district.
Statement 1 accurately identifies the Birhor and Hill Korwa as recognized Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). Statement 2 is false because census demographic data demonstrates that high urban population density does not directly correlate with peak Scheduled Tribe literacy rates across administrative districts.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding PVTG status.
Birhor and Hill Korwa are recognized PVTGs inhabiting hilly and forested tracts.
Official state tribal welfare classifications designate these groups as PVTGs based on declining/stagnant population and traditional socio-economic indicators.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding district demographic correlations.
The highest tribal literacy rate is recorded in dedicated rural/tribal districts with strong educational outreach, not the highest density urban district.
High urban population density does not automatically translate to high literacy rates specifically among the Scheduled Tribe population across districts.
3
Determine the overall correctness of the given options.
Only Statement 1 is correct.
Statement 1 is factually true, and Statement 2 is factually false.
