The Supreme Court of India has refused to entertain a plea that sought the enumeration of denotified tribes in the national Census.

The Indian government plans to increase the income limit for post-matric scholarships for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Other Backward Classes (OBCs), and Denotified Tribes (DNTs) starting from the 2026-27 academic year, with proposals for widespread changes to scholarship schemes and a plan to name an overseas scholarship for SCs after Dr. Ambedkar.
