The National Commission for Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-nomadic Tribes (NCDNT) prepares the state-wise list of castes belonging to a particular tribe.

Recommendations of the Commission for Denotified, Nomadic and Semi-nomadic tribes: 

• It suggested a permanent commission at the centre for denotified, nomadic and semi-nomadic communities.
• Setting up separate departments in every state for the above-mentioned communities. 
• The definition of notified and denotified tribes must be put forth with uniformity in their categorisation under SC/ST/OBC.
• It recommends a caste-based census to enumerate the population of these communities.
• There needs to be more awareness among these communities for their inclusion in the mainstream and their access to several welfare schemes.
