"Education" is the subject matter of which list after the 42nd Amendment to the Indian Constitution?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Concurrent List
The 42nd Amendment Act, 1976 moved education from the State List to the Concurrent List, on which both Parliament and the state legislatures can make laws (a central law prevails if the two conflict). The same amendment moved four other subjects to the Concurrent List: forests, protection of wild animals and birds, weights and measures, and administration of justice.
