Consider the following statements: 1. Police is a subject under the Union List. 2. Agriculture falls under the State List. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Only 2
The Seventh Schedule of the Constitution (Article 246) divides legislative subjects between the Union List, the State List and the Concurrent List.
Statement 1 is incorrect: 'Police' (including railway and village police) is Entry 2 of List II, the State List. Along with public order (Entry 1), it is a state subject.
Statement 2 is correct: 'Agriculture, including agricultural education and research' is Entry 14 of the State List.
Hence, only statement 2 is correct.
