Q82. Consider the following pairs : State Description
I. Arunachal Pradesh : The capital is named after a fort, and the State has two National Parks
II. Nagaland : The State came into existence on the basis of a Constitutional Amendment Act
III. Tripura : Initially a Part ‘C’ State, it became a centrally administered territory with the reorganization of States in 1956 and later attained the status of a full-fledged State
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Detailed Solution
I. Arunachal Pradesh: The capital, Itanagar, is named after Ita Fort. Arunachal Pradesh has two National Parks: Namdapha National Park and Mouling National Park. This pair is correctly matched.
II. Nagaland: The State of Nagaland was formed in 1963 by the State of Nagaland Act, 1962, which was an Act of Parliament. Simultaneously, the Constitution (Thirteenth Amendment) Act, 1962, was passed to insert Article 371A, granting special provisions to Nagaland.
So, its existence is linked to both an Act of Parliament and a Constitutional Amendment Act. This pair is correctly matched. III. Tripura: Tripura acceded to India in 1949 and was initially a Part 'C' State.
With the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, it became a Union Territory. It attained full statehood in 1972 through the North Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971. This pair is correctly matched.
Therefore, all three pairs are correctly matched. Understanding the historical and constitutional evolution of Indian states is important for UPSC Polity & Governance and History.
