What are the duties for central and state government

Answered by admin @




The differentiation and division of the responsibilities of the state and central government is specified in terms of Three Lists in the constitution of India. 

1. Union List
This list contains 100 items of national importance on which the central parliament has the exclusive rights to make laws. The topics included in this list are of national importance and require a uniform application throughout the country like Defense, Currency, Banking etc.
Union List


2. State List
This lists contains a list of 61 items on which the state governments have
the exclusive rights to make laws. These topics pertain to day to day governance and which can be legislated well locally. Thus we have topics like Police, Agriculture etc. coming in this category.
State List

3. Concurrent List
This is a list containing 52 items on which both Central as well as State government have the rights to make laws. In the case of a conflict, the laws made by the central government prevail. These are the topics which cannot be put in the above two categories and are of interest both locally as well as nationally. These includes Criminal Laws, Forests, Marriages and Divorce etc.
