Article 330-342 of Part XVI
Part XVI of the Constitution is titled Special Provisions relating to Certain Classes and runs from Article 330 to Article 342.
It provides for reservation of seats for SCs and STs in the Lok Sabha (Article 330) and State Assemblies (Article 332), the National Commissions for SCs, STs and Backward Classes (Articles 338, 338A, 338B) and a commission to investigate backward classes (Article 340).
Articles 341 and 342 empower the President to notify the lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Articles 220-225 deal with High Courts, 114-120 with Parliament's financial and procedural matters, and 350-351 with languages, all outside Part XVI.
Hence, Article 330-342 of Part XVI.
