Sixth Schedule Indian constitution

-
The Sixth Schedule was incorporated to protect the rights of the minority tribals living within a larger state dominated by the majority.

 But in these largely tribal-dominated states, the indigenous enjoy overwhelming majority and a major political voice, with 90 per cent of the Assembly seats (55 out of 60 in Meghalaya) reserved for the tribals. Indeed, it is now the rights of minority non-tribals that need protection. 

The existence of the Sixth Schedule in a full-fledged state with all powers is thus not only unnecessary but also illogical.

 It undermines social harmony, stability and economic development of the state and the region. 


The Sixth Schedule which applies to the Tribal Areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram, provides for autonomy in the administration of these areas through Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) and the Regional Councils empowered to make laws in respect of areas under their jurisdiction, which cover land, forest, cultivation, inheritance, indigenous customs and traditions of tribals, etc. and also to collect land revenues and certain other taxes. ADCs are like miniature states having specific powers and responsibilities in respect of all the three arms of governance: Legislature, executive and judiciary

  What is an Economic Development Plan?Do you think Strategic economic development plans are integral to achieving measurable, sustainable economic growth and quality of place? When planning for economic development, the goal is to create and maintain a strong, vibrant local economy. Local government economic development planning is part of a region's overall economic development strategy and involves intergovernmental coordination. The economic development plan provides a comprehensive overview of the economy, sets policy direction for economic growth, and identifies strategies, programs, and projects to improve the economy. Economic planning has two major economic effects: 1. It reduces uncertainty by making forecasts about economic conditions and by providing market information (market conditions, prospects, expected behaviour of economic agents, etc.). These forecasts are more or less detailed and are made public. This aspect of planning we call the information effect. 2. It mo...

What do you mean by Minimum Support Price (MSP)? How will MSP rescue the farmers from the low income trap? (150 Words, 10 Marks)

-
  Minimum Support Price (MSP) is a price fixed by the government for certain agricultural commodities to protect farmers from low market prices. The MSP is intended to serve as a floor price for these commodities, ensuring that farmers receive a minimum price for their produce, even in cases of overproduction or declining market prices. The MSP helps farmers avoid the low-income trap by providing them with a guaranteed minimum price for their produce. This protects farmers from market fluctuations and price volatility, which can result in low prices and reduced income. With the assurance of a minimum price, farmers can make more informed decisions about what crops to grow, how much to produce, and when to sell. Additionally, the MSP also acts as a signal to the market, indicating the government's willingness to intervene in case of low market prices. This can increase market confidence and help to stabilize prices, reducing the risk of price fluctuations for farmers. In conclusion,...

What does this pollution mean in terms of economic growth? Will India's economy be affected by this pollution?10M

-
  Air pollution will be the biggest leveller because it will affect both the rich and the poor. But the rich will be able to afford the cost of dealing with chronic asthma and cancer whereas the poor will not be able to do so. In other words, India's wealth will be built on the backs of its poor, its elderly, its children and those genetically susceptible. Not on the back of the economy but on the back of public health. In terms of numbers?  A million die each year because of water pollution and this is still largely because of the traditional form of pollution which results from human filth. The new water pollution will add to this all kind of horrendous diseases like cancers and neurological disorders. It is estimated that at least one lakh die each year from urban air pollution. Thus, at the least one million or more will continue to die from pollution each year in India. This figure will rise to probably 2-3 million a year with growing pollution. But tens of millions will ...
