The Scheduled areas (SAS) are those parts of the country which have been identified by the fifth and sixth schedule of the Constitution of India and are inhabited predominantly by tribal communities or Scheduled tribes. Sas are often identified by their geographical isolation, primitive economies, and relatively egalitarian and closely knit society. Irrespective of the constitutional provision for governance and a mandate of devolution of power in terms of funds, functions and functionaries, the backwardness of these areas have remained a challenge.
this volume attempts to explore the reasons behind the disregard for legal and institutional mechanism designed for the SAS. It examines the role of the state in the neoliberal era on fund allocation and utilisation, the governance of land and forest resources, and the ineffectiveness of the existing administrative structures and processes. It also looks into the interpretations of law by the judiciary while dealing with community rights vis-a-vis the state’s prerogative of bringing development to the regions, and how development concerns are addressed in the name of ‘good governance’ by various stakeholders.
