Statement 2 is correct. The list of Scheduled Tribes is specific to a particular State or Union Territory. A community recognized as a Scheduled Tribe in one State may not necessarily hold the same status in another State. This is because the criteria for identification and the socio-economic conditions vary across different regions. For instance, a community might be considered a Scheduled Tribe in Maharashtra but not in Chhattisgarh, reflecting the state-specific nature of such declarations.
Statement 1 is incorrect. The power to specify which tribes or tribal communities are to be deemed Scheduled Tribes in relation to a State or Union Territory rests with the President of India. Article 342(1) of the Constitution empowers the President to make such a specification by public notification, after consultation with the Governor of the concerned State. The Governor's role is consultative, not declarative. Furthermore, any subsequent inclusion in or exclusion from the list of Scheduled Tribes can only be done by a law made by Parliament, as per Article 342(2).
