Union-State relations
Panchayats
Urban Governance
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is (b), Union-State relations.
The Sarkaria Commission was a commission set up by the Government of India in 1983 to review the working of the Constitution of India with respect to Centre-State relations. The Commission submitted its report in 1988.
The Commission made a number of recommendations, including the following:
- The Centre and the States should have a more cooperative relationship.
- The Centre should not interfere in the affairs of the States.
- The States should have more autonomy.
- The Finance Commission should be given more powers.
- The Inter-State Council should be made more effective.
The Commission’s recommendations were not implemented in full, but they did have some impact on the way in which Centre-State relations are conducted.
The other options are incorrect because:
- (a) Administrative reforms: The Sarkaria Commission did not make any recommendations regarding administrative reforms.
- (c) Panchayats: The Sarkaria Commission did not make any recommendations regarding panchayats.
- (d) Urban Governance: The Sarkaria Commission did not make any recommendations regarding urban governance.
