The Sarkaria Commission was set up in June 1983 by the Government of India, headed by Justice Ranjit Singh Sarkaria. Its primary mandate was to examine and review the working of the existing arrangements between the Union and the States in all spheres and recommend appropriate changes within the constitutional framework.

• The Commission submitted its report in 1988, containing 247 recommendations.
• Significant recommendations included the establishment of a permanent Inter-State Council under Article 263, specific criteria for the appointment of Governors, and the advice that Article 356 (President's Rule) should be used very sparingly, only as a last resort.

Other committees like the Dinesh Goswami Committee dealt with electoral reforms, while the Balwant Rai Mehta and Ashok Mehta committees focused on Panchayati Raj institutions.
