AMD (Autonomous District Councils)

Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) are local governing bodies in India established in regions with distinct tribal populations. They operate with a degree of self-governance, allowing local communities to manage their own affairs, such as culture, education, and development projects, while remaining part of the broader state administration. ADCs aim to preserve tribal identity, promote local development, and ensure political representation. They function under specific constitutional provisions, providing a platform for tribal voices in decision-making processes relevant to their unique needs and traditions.
