Arrange the following in chronological order:
A) Sarkaria Commission report submitted
B) Inter-State Council constituted
C) Punchhi Commission constituted
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. A-B-C.
The Sarkaria Commission, appointed in 1983 to examine Center-State relations, submitted its final report in 1988. Based on its recommendations, the Inter-State Council was formally constituted under Article 263 of the Constitution in 1990. Much later, the Punchhi Commission was constituted in 2007 to re-examine the evolving dynamics of federalism, submitting its report in 2010. Therefore, the sequence follows the evolution of Indian federalism from the late 1980s to the 2000s.
