The most important structural change in the administration is the grant of political autonomy and statehood in North East India. This happened back in the British era when the Interim Government of India had appointed a sub-committee to the Constituent Assembly of North- East Frontier (Assam) Tribal and Excluded Areas Committee under the chairmanship of first Assam Chief Minister Gopinath Bardoloi.
The committee recommended setting up of autonomous district councils to provide due representative structures at the local level to the tribal population. The recommendation was later incorporated into Sixth Schedule article 244 (2) & Article 275(1) of the Indian Constitution.
