The Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India pertains to the administration of tribal areas in which of the following States?

The Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India, under Articles 244(2) and 275(1), provides for the administration of tribal areas in the four northeastern states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. This schedule was designed to protect the socio-cultural identity and land rights of tribal populations by establishing Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) and Regional Councils [2]. These councils possess significant legislative, judicial, executive, and financial powers to govern their respective areas independently [2]. Currently, there are ten such autonomous councils across these four states: three each in Assam, Meghalaya, and Mizoram, and one in Tripura [2]. While Manipur has its own statutory district councils, it is not included under the Sixth Schedule. The states are often remembered by the mnemonic 'AMTM' (Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram) to distinguish them from other northeastern states [3].
