Which of the following does NOT come under the Concurrent List?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Artificial Habitats.

  • Artificial Habitats does NOT come under the Concurrent List.

  • The Indian Constitution distributes legislative powers between the Union and State Governments through three lists: the Union List, the State List, and the Concurrent List.

  • The Concurrent List includes subjects on which both the Centre and the States can legislate. In the event of a conflict between central and state laws on a subject in this list, the Central law prevails.

  • This list covers areas of common interest where a uniform legal framework is desirable, such as education, marriage laws, social security, and criminal law.

  • While environmental management and conservation are not explicitly mentioned in the Concurrent List, they often fall under broader subjects related to health, forests, and protection of wildlife. These are typically considered a shared responsibility, though states primarily manage them. 

Other Options:

  • Medical Education: Yes, it is in the Concurrent List (Entry 25).
  • Protection of Wildlife: Yes, included under Entry 17B of the Concurrent List.
  • Population Control and Family Planning: Yes, under Entry 20A.
