Scheduled Areas

Scheduled Areas are areas in India with a preponderance of tribal population subject to a special governance mechanism[1] wherein the central government plays a direct role in safeguarding cultural and economic interests of scheduled tribes in the area.[2] The authority to create and administer Scheduled Areas stems from the Fifth and Sixth Schedules of the Constitution of India.[3]
