Q26 (UPPCS/2021) Polity & Governance › Federalism & Emergency Provisions

On the recommendation of which Commission/Committee, the Inter-state Council was set up in India ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Inter-State Council is a constitutional body mandated by Article 263 of the Constitution of India. Although the provision existed since 1950, the Council was formally established only on May 28, 1990, via a Presidential Order.

This establishment was a direct result of the recommendations made by the Sarkaria Commission on Centre-State Relations (1983–1988). The Commission argued that a permanent forum was necessary for consultation and coordination between the Union and the States to ensure smooth federal functioning.

  • Punchhi Commission (2007): Also dealt with Centre-State relations but followed the Sarkaria Commission.
  • Rajmannar Committee (1969): Appointed by the Tamil Nadu government to look into federalism, but its recommendations were not implemented by the Centre.
  • Kothari Commission (1964): Focused on the national education system and reforms.
