    Solution

    Odisha became the first state to publish an encyclopedia based on tribal communities. The “Encyclopedia of Tribes in Odisha” was unveiled by state chief minister Navin Patnaik on September 26, 2022. The encyclopedia documents the unique and old-age traditions and culture of Odisha. Schedule Castes and Scheduled Tribes Research and Training Institute (SCSTRTI) and Odisha State Tribal Museum published the encyclopedia. Tribes constitute 22.85% of the population in Odisha. A total number of 62 tribal communities live in the state. The numbers as a percentage of the total population are higher in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, but Odisha has the most diverse tribal communities in the country.
