There were about 60 major tribal group: accounting for about 80 per cent of the total tribal popu lation of India in 1991. There were over 100 medium triba groups and 130 minor tribal groups. About 60 others werl numerically insignificant. The pattern of distribution of th. tribal groups was very uneven.

The Scheduled Tribe~ formed the largest proportion of the total population ir, Lakshadweep, followed by Mizoram and Nagaland.

District-wise, the district of West Khasi Hills in Meghalaya had the highest percentage of ST population in 1991. There were about 30 districts where more than 75 per cent of the total population were scheduled tribes. Majority of such districts were in the North-Eastern states. Districts, such as Lahul and Spiti, the Dangs, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Jhabua and Lakshadweep had also about three-fourths of their population belonging to STs.

The decadal population growth between the census year 1981 to 1991 in respect of the tribal population has been higher (31.64 per cent) than that for the entire population (23.51 per cent), however, during census years 1991 to 2001 it has been 24.45 per cent against the growth rate of 22.66 per cent for the entire population.

North-Eastern Zone

North-Eastern Zone This zone includes the seven north-eastern states, and the major tribal groupS here are Nagas, Khasi, Garo, Mishing, Miri, Karbi and the Apatanis. Ecological degradation because of shifting cultivation 'and inaccessibility due to lack of communication facilities are two major problems of these tribes. Because of a high degree of isolation, the tribes of this sector have not really shared history with the mainstream Indians and have instead shared history with the neighbouring communities. This explains why there is an element of hostility of these tribes with the mainstream. These tribes mainly belong to the Mongoloid stock which gives them a distinct ethnic identity. These tribes have a very high rate of literacy and conversions to Christianity, mainly because of the mission­ary activities during the colonial rule. Among the more advanced tribes of this region are the Khasis, Garo and Miri.
