Fifth Schedule status

Not within a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area

The Presidential Order for Odisha declares which areas in the State are Scheduled Areas. It does not name this district, in whole or in part, so no part of it is a Scheduled Area under that Order. A later Order could add one; this reference states the position as transcribed and reviewed on 2026-08-21.
