Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Assam has six autonomous councils out of which two of them are Hill Autonomous Councils created after 90s. These are Dima Hasao Autonomous Council (N C Hills) and Karbi Anglong Autonomous (KAAC) Council, and the rest are Plain Autonomous Councils- i.e. RAC, LAC, SKAC, MAC. There is also an extended sixth schedule administrative arrangement for Bodos in Assam named Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC Act of 2003) made scraping the Bodoland Autonomous Council Act of 1993. All these autonomous arrangements for Tribal in Assam are the fruit of political arrangement made after prolong agitation of student, social organisations and followed by armed insurgent groups in Assam. It is politically considered as a desirable and suitable local self government rather than parallel imposed political system of Indian federalism. It is aimed to protect the tribal from civic hegemony on them in respect of language, art, culture, traditions and political fields. Thus the idea of formation of village council in the line of tribal chieftainship administration empowering the powers of Gram Panchayat and formation of development council empowering with powers of Anchalick Panchayat and Zilla Parishad level to Territorial Level Constituency (TLC) as experimental basis is brought to Assam considering the culture of tribal civic society and their search for local government at their own choice i.e. Hill or Plain autonomous council of which grass root institution of administration is village council in lieu of gram panchayat.
