Article 244A

Article 244A of the Indian Constitution allows for the establishment of a Legislative Assembly for the tribal areas in the northeastern states, namely Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura. This article provides a framework for greater autonomy and self-governance in these areas by enabling a separate assembly that can create laws and regulations specific to the needs of tribal communities. It aims to enhance local governance and represent the interests of indigenous populations, acknowledging their unique cultural and social needs within the broader Indian political system.
