Which Constitutional Amendment Act added the Tenth Part to the Indian Constitution, containing provisions related to the administration of Scheduled Areas and Tribal Areas?

A. Fifth Schedule and Sixth Schedule do not use a separate Part
B. Part X was added by the Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act, 1956
C. Part X containing Articles 244 and 244A is part of the original Constitution✓ Correct Answer
D. Part X was added by the 42nd Amendment Act

💡 Solution & Explanation

Part X of the Indian Constitution, titled The Scheduled and Tribal Areas and comprising Articles 244 and 244A, was enacted as an integral part of the original Constitution in 1950. Incorrect choices suggesting amendments like the seventh or forty-second acts are factually mistaken because those acts modified other provisions rather than introducing this part. Article 244 provides for the application of the Fifth and Sixth Schedules to tribal regions.
