The Vohra Committee Report (1993) was related to which one of the following areas ?
Explanation
The Vohra Committee was constituted by the Government of India in July 1993, headed by the then Home Secretary, N.N. Vohra. It was established in the aftermath of the 1993 Bombay serial blasts to investigate the nexus between politicians, bureaucrats, and criminals.
The report concluded that criminal networks were virtually running a parallel government and enjoyed the patronage of politicians and protection from government functionaries. This phenomenon is termed the criminalization of politics. In the context of competitive exams and the Indian Polity syllabus, the Vohra Committee is primarily associated with Electoral Reforms because its findings highlight the urgent need to cleanse the electoral process of criminal influence. Other notable committees in this domain include the Tarkunde Committee, Dinesh Goswami Committee, and Indrajit Gupta Committee.
