The Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution is a set of provisions for the administration of tribal areas in certain states of India. These provisions aim to safeguard the rights and interests of the tribal communities residing in these areas.

Option 1: Assam - Assam is covered under the Sixth Schedule. The tribal areas in Assam, known as Autonomous District Councils, are governed by the provisions of the Sixth Schedule.

Option 2: Manipur - Manipur is not covered under the Sixth Schedule. The administration of tribal areas in Manipur is governed by a different set of provisions, known as the Manipur Hill Areas Autonomous District Councils Act, 1971.

Option 3: Meghalaya - Meghalaya is covered under the Sixth Schedule. The state has autonomous district councils that have powers for self-governance in certain areas.

Option 4: Tripura - Tripura is covered under the Sixth Schedule. The state has tribal areas that are governed by autonomous district councils.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, Manipur, as it is not covered under the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
