It is observed that the structures of autonomous district councils are formed only in the North Eastern Region (NER) of the country, though the vast bulk of tribal people are found outside the NER, such as in Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat etc where this means of development has got missed owing to absence of such autonomous bodies. In the constitution also such provision is absent for states other than the NER. Whether the issue would be given a thought and the need for creation of ADCs in those states be emphasized by CPI(M)?
