Explanation

The Sarkaria Commission was established by the Government of India in 1983 under the chairmanship of Justice R.S. Sarkaria to review the existing arrangements between the Union and the States [t4][t6]. The commission's primary mandate was to examine the entire gamut of Centre-State relations, including legislative, administrative, and financial powers, as well as the role of Governors and emergency provisions [t2][t3]. In its final report submitted in 1988, the commission made 247 recommendations aimed at strengthening federal cooperation [t4]. One of its most significant outcomes was the recommendation to establish a permanent Inter-State Council under Article 263 of the Constitution, which was subsequently implemented in 1990 [c5][t4]. While the commission touched upon specific issues like river water disputes and local governance within the broader context of federalism, its core focus remained the structural relationship between the Centre and the States [t2][t6].
