About National Commission for Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Tribes (NCDNSNT)

  • The Government in July 2014 had constituted NCDNT for a period of three years.
  • It was set up  to prepare a State-wise list of castes belonging to Denotified and Nomadic Tribes and to suggest appropriate measures in respect of Denotified and Nomadic Tribes that may be undertaken by the Central Government or the State Government. 
  • It was set up to study various developmental aspects of denotified and nomadic or semi-nomadic tribes in India.
  • In its report submitted to the Government, the Commission recommended the setting up of a Permanent Commission for these communities. 
  • Since most of the DNTs are covered in SC, ST or OBC, constitution of a Permanent Commission will not be very effective in implementing development programmes, rather it will look at grievance redressal and will therefore be in conflict with mandate of existing commissions for SCs., STs and OBCs. 
  • The Government has therefore decided to set up a Development and Welfare Board under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 under the aegis of Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment for the purpose of implementing development and welfare programmes for Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-nomadic Communities.
  • The Commission was first set up on 22 November 2003 and reconstituted for several times including in 2006 and 2014.

  • To assess and identify gaps in accessing existing programmes and entitlements.
  • To collaborate with Ministries/implementing agencies to ensure that ongoing programmes meet the special requirements of Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Communities.
