Sixth Schedule @militarychoiceblog

The Sixth Schedule of the Constitution provides for the administration of tribal areas in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram to safeguard the rights of the tribal population in these states.

This special provision is provided under Article 244 (2) and Article 275 (1) of the Constitution.

In Assam, the hill districts of Dima Hasao, Karbi Anglong and West Karbi and the Bodo Territorial Region are under this provision.

The Governor is empowered to increase or decrease the areas or change the names of the autonomous districts.

While executive powers of the Union extend in Scheduled areas with respect to their administration in fifth schedule, the sixth schedule areas remain within executive authority of the state.
