(a)To provide self-governance
(b)To recognize traditional rights
(c)To create autonomous regions in tribal areas

Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) To create autonomous regions in tribal areas
The Panchayat (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 was enacted to extend self-governance to Fifth-Schedule tribal areas, recognise their customary rights and practices, and protect them from exploitation. It does not speak of creating ‘autonomous regions’—that feature belongs to the Sixth-Schedule provisions for Autonomous District Councils—hence option (c) is NOT an objective.
