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. A different protection does: this district lies within the Bodoland Territorial Area District, under the Sixth Schedule (Articles 244(2) and 275(1)), which has its own consent and land-transfer safeguards.

What the record shows
The Scheduled Tribe share here, 37.0%, is at least double the national figure of 8.55%.
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.

How households live

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.
The timeline counts 10 of the 18 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 8, 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.
