Discussion
In which of the following states the Tribal Welfare Ministers are appointed by Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister?
i. Chhattisgarh
ii. Bihar
iii. Jharkhand
iv. Odisha
v. Madhya Pradesh
Choose the most appropriate option from below :
Answer: B
The states are i, iii, iv and v only: Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh.
The proviso to Article 164(1) of the Constitution requires these four states to have a Minister in charge of tribal welfare, who may also look after the welfare of Scheduled Castes and backward classes. Like every minister, this minister is appointed by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister.
Bihar was originally on the list, but the 94th Amendment of 2006 removed it, since most of its tribal areas went to Jharkhand, and added Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. Any option including ii is therefore wrong.
