SSC GD 2025 PYQ — Question 22

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Union of States.

According to the Constitution of India, the country is described as a “Union of States.” This means that India is not a mere federation, but a strong union where the central government has significant authority over the states, especially in matters of national importance. While powers are divided between the Centre and the states, the Union retains the ability to reorganize state boundaries and intervene during emergencies. This structure ensures unity, integrity, and effective governance across the country.
