Centre-State Relations

Centre-State Relations refer to how the national government (Centre) and regional governments (States) in a federal system collaborate, share powers, and resolve conflicts. The Constitution defines their responsibilities: the Centre manages national issues like defense and foreign policy, while States handle local matters like education and health. These relations involve laws, negotiations, and sometimes disputes, which are resolved through constitutional provisions and institutions like the Parliament and courts. Effective Centre-State relations ensure balanced governance, national unity, and regional development, with both levels working cooperatively within their constitutional framework.
