💡 Analysis & Explanation
Polity
Governance.
Context
Declaration of Scheduled Tribes.
Details
Statement 1 is incorrect because under Article 342 of the Constitution, it is the President of India (not the Governor) who first notifies the list of Scheduled Tribes for a State, after consultation with the Governor. Statement 2 is correct; the list of Scheduled Tribes is State-specific, and a community recognized as an ST in one state might not be recognized as such in another state.
