After the 42nd Amendment, under which list does education fall?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Concurrent List.
After the 42nd Amendment (1976), education was moved to the Concurrent List of the Indian Constitution. This means both the Central and State governments have the power to make laws regarding education. The amendment aimed to promote uniformity in educational policies and ensure coordinated development across India.
-
(Union List): Only the Parliament can legislate on these subjects; education is not exclusively under it.
-
(State List): States alone cannot legislate on education after the amendment.
-
(Residuary List): Covers subjects not enumerated in any list; education is specifically mentioned, so this is incorrect.
