The main duties and responsibilities of the Tribes Advisory Council are to provide advice and recommendations on matters related to the administration of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in each State where such areas exist. The council is composed of not more than twenty members, with as nearly as may be, three-fourths being representatives of the Scheduled Tribes in the Legislative Assembly of the State.
