Scheduled and Tribal Areas

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Constitutional arrangements under Articles 244 and 244A deal with areas inhabited by socially and economically vulnerable tribal groups, providing special administrative and governance structures. Part X includes provisions for Fifth Schedule areas (mainland tribal regions) and Sixth Schedule areas (autonomous districts in northeastern states). These frameworks protect tribal culture, land rights, and customary practices. District or regional councils have legislative, executive, and judicial powers to preserve indigenous institutions. State governors hold discretionary authority to regulate governance, ensuring minimal exploitation. Balances between autonomy and integration remain contentious, with calls for more robust tribal self-governance and development measures.
