Detailed Solution

The percentage of the tribal population of India is 8.6% of the total population, according to the latest census data.
Adivasis make up a sizable minority in India, accounting for 8.6% of the country's total population, or 104.2 million people. The term "Adivasis" also refers to scheduled tribes. These are the identified indigenous people of India who are underprivileged. They are regarded as indigenous to the regions of India where they reside, either as bandits or as tribalistic sedentary tribes. Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Northeast India, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are particularly notable for their Adivasi societies.
