Detailed Solution

The given statement is False. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes have seats reserved in the Indian Parliament, State Assemblies, and urban and rural-level organisations. All voters in a constituency elect these reserved seats without a separate electorate. The proportion of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the state based on the state's population is used to allocate seats for SC and ST in the Lok Sabha. The SCs and STs are provided with constituencies based on their population distribution. As a result, the constituencies for SCs and STs are not adequately distributed over the country but are concentrated in certain specific locations only.
The correct statement would be Constituencies reserved for the SCs and STs are not evenly spread throughout the country..
