Abstract
The term Scheduled Caste, an expression standardized in the Constitution of India, was coined by Simon Commission in course of its study of the cases of those castes or groups , and was embodied in Section 309 of the Government of India Act, 1935. The Constitution of India adopted the term Scheduled Castes as coined by Simon Commission to designate them as dalits or depressed classes.
This paper studies the Scheduled Castes, relating them to their Livelihood patterns, which may give valuable suggestions for their development. The present study may provide good suggestions for the well-being of this neglected class of the society and bringing them at par with the other castes.
Key words: Scheduled Caste, Livelihood, SARAN District, Constitution of India
