496 Villages Considered for Scheduled Area Status

The government is looking at adding 496 villages to a special list called Scheduled Areas.

This means the villages have many tribal people and might get extra help.

The Minister explained this to everyone.

Getting a village on the list takes a long time.

There's a lot of steps.

The government is also spending lots of money to make things better.

They plan to build roads, put up phone towers and give free electricity to tribal families.

It's all to help make life better for the tribal communities.
