Twipra Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) Act 1979 was passed by the Indian parliament after a series of democratic movements launched by the Indigenous people of Twipra, under the provision of the 7th scheduled of the Indian constitution. The principle objective behind setting up the Autonomous District Council is to empower the Indigenous people to govern themselves and also to bring all round developments of the backward people so as to protect and preserve their culture, customs and traditions. But it actually came into being from 18th January 1982 and later it was upgraded under the provision of the 6th schedule to the Indian constitution with effect from the 1st April 1985 by the 49th amendment to the constitution of India.
