Explanation

Article 244(1) of the Indian Constitution specifies that the provisions of the Fifth Schedule apply to the administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in any State other than the four northeastern states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram [1][2][3]. These four states are instead governed under the Sixth Schedule as per Article 244(2), which provides for autonomous districts and regions to preserve tribal autonomy and culture [2][4]. Conversely, states like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Odisha are among the ten states that currently have Scheduled Areas governed under the Fifth Schedule. Therefore, the Fifth Schedule does not apply to Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Mizoram, making statements 2 and 3 correct while statement 1 is incorrect as those states are covered by the Fifth Schedule.
