"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
-
Before the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, Education was a subject in the State List.
-
After the 42nd Amendment, it was moved to the Concurrent List.
This means:
-
Both the Centre and the States can now make laws on education.
-
However, in case of a conflict between central and state laws, the central law prevails (as per Article 254).
