Administration of Scheduled Areas

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Refers to regions declared under the Fifth Schedule, typically in states like Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and Gujarat. The Governor wields special powers to regulate or prohibit certain laws, protecting tribal interests. Tribal Advisory Councils advise on welfare and socio-economic advancement. PESA (Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas Act, 1996) extends Panchayati Raj to these areas, respecting local customs and restricting land alienation. The objective is to guard tribal identity while promoting grassroots democracy and development. However, inadequate implementation and resource exploitation remain challenges. Understanding scheduled area administration is key to comprehending India’s inclusive yet complex approach to tribal welfare.
