Commission on Centre-State Relations Report Part I

Abstract

The Constitution of India envisages two tiers of Government, one at the level of the Union, and the other at the level of the States. From the functional standpoint, such a Constitution is not a static format, but a dynamic process. Within this process, the interplay of centrifugal and centripetal forces influenced by a changing social, economic and political environment, constantly strives to find a new adjustment of the balance between unity and diversity.
