Explanation:

The population of Haryana, as per 2011 Census, is 21,144,564. Of this, 4,091,110 (19.3 per cent) are Scheduled Castes (SCs). The SC population constitutes 2.5 per cent of the country’s SC population. This SC population is contributed by 37 SCs notified by the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 1976. The growth rate of SC population in the decade 2001-2011 at 25.8 per cent is lower than the overall growth rate of the state population (28.4 per cent). Among the major SCs, highest growth rate of 30.8 per cent is recorded in the case of Dhanak, followed by Balmiki (25.6 per cent) and Chamar (21.9 per cent). It is worth noting that no community has been specified as a scheduled tribe in relation to the states of Haryana and Punjab and the Union Territories of Chandigarh, Delhi and Puducherry.
