Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 1975
Bharmaur in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh has been a notified tribal area since 21 November 1975. It was made one of the five Integrated Tribal Development Projects (ITDP) of Himachal Pradesh under the tribal sub-plan of the Fifth Five Year Plan.
Note: The book does not say in clear words that the Integrated Tribal Development Project was notified in 1975. It gives 21 November 1975 as the date from which Bharmaur is a notified tribal area, and 1974 as the year in which the tribal sub-plan was introduced. Of the given years, only 1975 fits.
