For implementation of welfare Schemes for DNTs State-wise list of such tribes should be prepared.
Advisory Committees may be made at District and State level to assist the socio-economic condition of the DNTs, so that action plan can be drawn for their welfare.
State Government may take special steps to issue Caste Certificates and ration cards to every member of DNT, and BPL Certificates to the concerned members, expeditiously.
Union of India may take special campaign for issue of voter ID to the eligible members of DNT.
