Fifth Schedule status

Not within a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area

Article 244(1) applies the Fifth Schedule in every State other than Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram, so no part of Assam is a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area and PESA does not apply here. The Sixth Schedule reaches other districts of this State through Autonomous District Councils, but not this one.

When these were filed

Each proposal is dated by the first step in its appraisal history, the dated record of steps the portal keeps for it.

2023-Q42026-Q2

The timeline counts 11 of the 20 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 9, so they are left out. Most of them are older proposals, so the early part of the timeline undercounts what was filed then. The register itself records a date for each of them; the gap is in our copy of the histories.

Hatched columns undercount, so they cannot be compared with solid ones. One of them covers a period for which we have read few filing dates so far, and it counts only the proposals whose date we have.

What kind of projects these are
