The executive power of a state extends to the scheduled areas therein. But the governor has a special responsibility regarding such areas. He has to submit a report to the president regarding the administration of such areas, annually or whenever so required by the president. The executive power of the Centre extends to giving directions to the states regarding the administration of such areas.

Consider the following statements.

  2. He can also increase or decrease its area, alter its boundary lines, rescind such designation or make fresh orders for such designation on an area in consultation with the governer of the state concerned.

Neither of the statements is incorrect. Both statements describe the powers of the president to declare an area as a scheduled area and make changes to its boundaries or designation in consultation with the governor of the concerned state. These powers are usually granted to the president under the legal framework of a country, such as the Constitution or specific legislation, to protect and promote the welfare of marginalized or tribal populations living in these areas.

Consider the following statements.
1. The governor is empowered to direct that any particular act of state legislature does not apply to a scheduled area or apply with specified modifications and exceptions
