Which of the following Schedules of the Indian Constitution contains provisions for administration of tribal areas in northeastern India?
Sixth Schedule
The Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution provides for the administration of tribal areas in the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram through Autonomous District Councils and Regional Councils, giving them powers over land, forests and local customs.
The Third Schedule contains forms of oaths and affirmations, the Eleventh Schedule lists the powers of Panchayats (73rd Amendment), and the Eighth Schedule lists the officially recognised languages, so none of these deal with northeastern tribal administration.
Hence, the provisions for administration of tribal areas in northeastern India are contained in the Sixth Schedule.
