Explanation:

These Criteria are:

Preponderance of tribal population,
Compactness and reasonable size of the area,
A viable administrative entity such as a district, block or taluk, and
Economic backwardness of the area as compared to the neighbouring areas.

The specification of “Scheduled Areas” in relation to a State is by a notified order of the President, after consultation with the State Government concerned. The same applies in the case of any alteration, increase, decrease, incorporation of new areas, or rescinding any Orders relating to “Scheduled Areas”.
