Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA) Act, 1996

The Constitution’s Fifth Schedule empowers the government to establish Scheduled Areas in states where Scheduled Tribes (STs) reside (not including the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram). At present, 10 states have Fifth Scheduled Areas: Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana have framed their PESA Rules. Odisha and Jharkhand have framed their draft PESA Rules.

Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram: Under Article 244 of the Indian Constitution, these four states are specially covered under the Sixth Schedule. This provision safeguards the rights of the indigenous tribal populations through the formation of Autonomous District Councils (ADCs).

The Ministry of Panchayati Raj celebrates December 24, 2024, as PESA Day.

After looking at the questions asked in RBI Assistant, many of you reached out asking what should be done for RBI Grade B.

The major concern is the static nature of questions. But these questions are not completely static—they are static concepts linked with current affairs.

I don’t think anything new should be done right now. Your focus should be on revision as much as possible.

Yesterday, I posted 10–12 questions here in the channel, and after that, I created another 45 questions from the April current affairs coverage.

Attempt these quizzes and understand how to manage such questions in the actual exam.

At this stage, you shouldn't study new things rather work on Active recall, identify patterns, and learn how to eliminate options under exam pressure.
