Consider the following statements: 1. The Sixth Schedule is applicable to Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. 2. It empowers autonomous district councils to make laws on specified subjects. Which of the above is/are correct?
Only 2
Statement 1 – Incorrect: The Sixth Schedule applies to the tribal areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram. Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh are not covered by the Sixth Schedule; their tribal-area governance is dealt with under different constitutional provisions (e.g., Article 371A for Nagaland, Article 371H for Arunachal Pradesh).
Statement 2 – Correct: The Sixth Schedule empowers Autonomous District Councils (and Regional Councils) to make laws on specified subjects such as land, forests, inheritance, marriage and social customs, and to administer village/town councils, primary schools, markets and the like.
Hence only Statement 2 is correct.
