Ayyangar Committee

The Ayyangar Committee was a group formed by India in 1953 to examine how the country’s states and regions (especially Jammu and Kashmir) should be governed and administered. Its goal was to recommend administrative and political arrangements to ensure stability, integration, and development, considering local needs and concerns. The committee studied various options for managing the diverse areas of India, especially those with special histories and identities, to help shape future policies that balanced unity with regional autonomy.
