alternative system to be built on the foundation of traditional institutionsthat existed in tribal areas. The committee wa'2 to suggest stepstowards:a) Harmonization of Fifth, Sixth, Eleventh and Twelfth Schedule of theConstitution as they intrude upon the Panchayat Raj institutions; b) toformulate the salient features of the law that may be ta ken up forenactment by Parliament for extending the provisions of the Part IXof the Constitution to the Schedu led Areas referred in Clause 1 ofArticle 244 of the Constitution subject to exceptions andmodifications as may be necessary under Article 243 M (b); c)variations and modifications in other articles releva nt to the FifthScheduleAreas.The recommendations were as follows :•The committee felt that while shaping the new Panchayati Raj law intribal areas, the traditional structure should be blended with themodern structure and due attention should be pa id to theuniq ueness of tribal societies and tribal areas since most of themhave their own customary laws, cultural traditions, mode of livingetc. Since the triba l communities have been living independently foryears they have exercised control over and access to naturalresources. The Gram Sabha and village councils have been theirvibrant institutions in the field of administration, religion, politics,economic, justice etc.• While drafting the law, the committee felt that the advantages of boththe fifth and the sixth schedules should be kept in mind. The fifthschedule should be the treated as the foundation and the designand contents of the sixth schedule should serve as a referencefra me for a district within the broad ca nvas of the fifth schedule.However, ethn ic, regional and other related variations should begiven due consideration.• At the state level the tribe's advisory council, envisaged in the fifthschedule as a consultative body, needs to be reformed tc r;1z:, kc itmore effectiv(. and functional. The chief minister of the state shouldbe its chairman and its meetings should be held once in every threemonths.•At the central level, the central advisory council to be revitali=eG,to serve the purrose of tribal policies and programmes and rpr,r'c;37
advice in disputes between a state government and the Tribesadvisory council or between the District Council and the tribesadvisory council which should be binding. The prime minister couldchair its meetings and its members may be the ministers for welfare,home, and rural development and the deputy chairperson of thePlanning Commission.• Many of the existing administrative boundaries were created duringthe colonial times. After independence, the boundaries exist in thesame shape and size. The committee therefore recommended thatboundaries should be reorganized on the basis of its geography,ethnicity and demography. The whole process the committee feltshould be completed and finalized within a couple of years.• The oral traditions and milieu is to be kept in mind while formingcooperative organizations among the triba ls. (The tribal societiesare characterized by communitarian and cooperative spirit, visiblein many of their activities like shifting cultivation, house constructionetc).• To assign Minimal role to the lower functionaries like the police,excise, forest and revenue that have shown least inte rest in thetribal society and have acted in an authoritarian manner. Thereforethe committee felt they should be made to work under the control ofconcerned panchayats to prevent further exploitation of the tribalcommunity.• The committee felt that there should be no barrier for the gramSabha to carry forward its traditional role. Further, a gram Sabhamay delegate functions like execution of development works to itstraditional body.• A number of small villages or hamlets to have a village Panchayat,known by different names such as gram panchayat, anchal or parhaor pargana panchayat. This tier is to resemble the lowest tier in the1992 act and its members may be elected directly.• Constituencies could be delimited for election of members to theintermediate and district Panchayats. The district level panchayatmay be called autonomous district council (ADC).• In certain districts, the population of the scheduled tribes is less than50 percent of its tota l population, but it may be concentrated in a part38
