Kisan Who are they?

The Kisan, Hindi for farmer, are farmers. They are distributed in the states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal. Under the provisions of independent India’s 1950 constitution the Kisan are listed as a Scheduled Tribe (ST). This listing benefits them by providing access to fixed quotas in government jobs, reserved placements in tertiary colleges to study medicine or engineering and reserved parliamentary seats.
