Explanation:

Article 341 Presidential Order for the Schedule Castes: With respect to the States and the Union Territories, the President after consulting with the Governor, through public notification specify the castes, races or tribes or parts of or groups within castes, races or tribes which shall for the purposes of this Constitution be deemed to be Scheduled Castes in relation to that State or Union Territory.
Under Article 341(2) of the Indian Constitution, the Parliament is empowered to confer the status of Scheduled Caste notified through a Presidential List. So, to amend the Presidential List of Scheduled Castes, an amendment must be made in the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950.
