Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1 only

The correct answer is 1 only.

  • The Scheduled areas are treated differently from other areas as they are inhabited by the aboriginals who are socially and economically backwards.
  • Special efforts are required for their development.
  • In India, they are given special rights under Schedule 5 and 6 of the Indian Constitution.

Salient Feature of Schedule 5 of the Indian Constitution: 

  • Applies to the entire country except for Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya, and Mizoram.
  • Governors are empowered to constitute TAC (Tribe Advisory Council) which will not be more than 20 members. Hence Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is incorrect.
  • All members of the TAC are nominated by Governor.
  • It is an advisory Body.
  • It has no Judicial power.
  • Its advice is not binding. Hence, Statement 3 is incorrect.
  • All enactment of Parliament and the state legislature are applied to these areas unless otherwise notified by the Governor.

  • Schedule 6 applies to Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya, and Mizoram.
