About the Seminar
The Indian federal system has been transformed in the last seven decades—from being dismissed as a full-fledged federal system to a widely acclaimed federal system in the world. Simply put, Indian federalism has become more meaningful and functional post-liberalization.
It goes without saying that India’s command economy, in fact, a mixed economy model has led to widespread corruption and inefficiency in the government. It has also affected Centre-state relations with the principles of federalism often being held hostage by the Centre.
