Sarkaria Commission was set up in June 1983 by the central government of India. Its charter was to examine the relationship and balance of power between state and central governments in the country and suggest changes within the framework of Constitution. [1]
The Commission was so named as it was headed by Justice Rajinder Singh Sarkaria - a retired judge of India's Supreme Court. [1]
The Commission submitted its final 1600-page report in 1988 that contained 247 specific recommendations. Inspite of its large size of its reports - the Commission has recommended, by and large, status quo in the Centre-State relations, especially in the areas, relating to legislative matters, role of Governors and use of Article 356[2].
It is widely accepted that to whatever extent the Commissions suggested change, the recommendations were not implemented.[2][3]
