Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Fifth Schedule of the Indian Constitution contains special provisions for the administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in several States. Authoritative sources state that the Fifth Schedule specifically deals with administration and control of Scheduled Areas (excluding certain northeastern States) and empowers the Union to give directions to States regarding administration of these areas [1]. The text of the Fifth Schedule (Article 244(1)) explicitly sets out the framework for governance, reports by Governors, and the role of Tribes Advisory Councils for Scheduled Areas, confirming its purpose as the constitutional instrument for these special provisions [2].
