How does the Government of India ensure that the level of administration in the tribal areas mentioned in this text is raised to that of the rest of the areas in Assam?
The Government of India ensures that the level of administration in the tribal areas mentioned in this text is raised to that of the rest of the areas in Assam by providing grants-in-aid of revenues to the State of Assam. These sums, capital and recurring, are equivalent to the costs of such schemes of development as may be undertaken by the State with the approval of the Government of India for the purpose of raising the level of administration in those areas. Additionally, when an autonomous state is formed under Article 244A, funds can be paid directly to the autonomous state or apportioned between the State of Assam and the autonomous state as specified by the President.
