Explanation

The Sahariya tribe is primarily located in the state of Rajasthan, specifically in the Baran district. They are also found in parts of Madhya Pradesh. They are of significant importance because they are the only tribe from Rajasthan to be included in the list of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups. They were recently in the news due to government initiatives aimed at improving their welfare and socio economic conditions. Therefore, Rajasthan is the correct location.
