Describe any three characteristics of distribution of power between the Centre and States of India.
Answers
Answer:
Indian federalism is a threefold distribution based on three lists: I - Union List on which centre make laws such as defence, currency, etc. II - State List on which state make laws such as police, trade, agriculture, etc. III - Concurrent List on which both Centre and State Legislates such as education, marriage, etc.
The "division of power" between the Central & State Govts is done in a 3 fold distribution of "legislative powers" between the Union & the State Govts.
Explanation:
There are 3 lists - "Union List", "State List" & "Concurrent List".
(i) Union List: It comprises areas of "national significance" such as defense of the nation, foreign affairs, communication, currency, & banking. The Central Govt alone can take all decisions on matters included in this list. The objective of "including" these matters in the "Union List" is to make sure there is "uniformity" in the "policy" of these areas across the nation.
(ii) State List: It comprises subjects of "state & local" significance such as trade, police, agriculture, irrigation, & commerce. The State Govts alone can take all decisions pertaining to these areas.
(iii) Concurrent List: It comprises those areas that are of "common interest" to both the Central & State Govts. It comprises matters such as forests, education, trade unions, & marriage. Both the Central & State govts can take all decisions pertaining to these matters.
