Explanation

The Constituent Assembly appointed the North-East Frontier (Assam) Tribal and Excluded Areas Sub-Committee, chaired by Gopinath Bordoloi, to address the unique administrative needs of tribal regions in the Northeast [3]. The committee recommended the creation of the Sixth Schedule to provide a degree of self-governance and protect the distinct culture and customs of tribal populations. A central recommendation was the constitution of District Councils in all autonomous districts of Assam, which were granted legislative, executive, and judicial powers [4]. While the Fifth Schedule applies to Scheduled Areas in other states, the Bordoloi Committee specifically focused on the Sixth Schedule for the tribal areas of the Northeast. The committee's findings were incorporated into Articles 244(2) and 275(1) of the Constitution [3]. Therefore, recommendations 2 and 3 are correct, while recommendation 1 refers to the wrong schedule.
