Another significant point mooted by the Commission relates to providing many of these “on the move” nomadic tribes permanent shelter by helping them settle down as villages. “The Government should be facilitating the settlement of such tribes as villages by acquiring land for the purpose,” the official added. The Commission has also mooted the idea of putting an Minimum Land Holding Act in place to guarantee land to these tribes in case they want to settle down and engage in agriculture. Another important recommendation is to help these tribes develop their existing skills by imparting them suitable training.

Tribes like Pardhi, Baori, Sansi, Berad and Kanjar Bhat fall under the Denotified tribes while Nat, Dombari, Sapera, Madari and Kalandar fall under Nomadic Tribes. Van Gujar, Rebari, Maldhari and Dhangar are some of the tribes falling under the semi-nomadic tribes.
