The correct answer is: a) The Sixth Schedule.
The Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution provides for special provisions with respect to the administration of tribal areas in the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. The Sixth Schedule recognizes the unique social, cultural, and economic conditions of the tribal peoples of these states and provides for a system of self-governance for them.
The Sixth Schedule establishes autonomous district councils (ADCs) for the tribal areas. The ADCs are responsible for a wide range of matters, including education, health, agriculture, and land revenue. The ADCs are elected by the people of the tribal areas and are responsible to the people.
The Sixth Schedule has been successful in promoting self-governance and development in the tribal areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. The ADCs have played a vital role in improving the lives of the tribal peoples of these states.
