Answer: Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha
Notes: The Muria tribe, primarily located in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha, faces challenges including lack of access to primary education, safe drinking water, and social welfare benefits. They are at risk of displacement and are referred to as ‘Gutti Koyas’. Speaking the Koya language, they practice animism and have unique cultural practices like Ghotul for youth education. Despite holding ST status in Chhattisgarh, they lack recognition in migrated states like Telangana.
