The Indigenous Department of Kerala, also known as the Scheduled Tribes Development Department, is a pivotal branch of the Kerala government dedicated to the welfare and development of the indigenous tribal communities in the state. Kerala is home to a diverse array of tribal communities, each with its own distinct culture, traditions, and way of life. These communities primarily reside in forested and hilly areas, including the districts of Wayanad, Idukki, Palakkad, and Attappady.
