Fifth Schedule status

Not within a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area

No Presidential Order under paragraph 6 of the Fifth Schedule declares any Scheduled Area in Uttar Pradesh, so no part of this district is one and PESA does not apply.

What the record shows

  • Literacy was 58.7% in 2011 against 72.98% nationally, so notices and documents issued in writing during a consultation may reach fewer people here.

Each of these observations appears when a fixed rule is met by the figures on this page, so the same figures always give the same sentences. None of them is a view on whether a project should go ahead.
