Amendment Moving Education to Concurrent List
The Indian Constitution originally placed Education under the State List, granting primary legislative authority to the states.
The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 was a significant legislative change that altered the distribution of powers between the Union and State governments.
- This pivotal amendment transferred numerous subjects from the State List to the Concurrent List.
- Notably, Education was among the subjects moved, allowing both the Central (Union) and State governments to legislate on it.
This constitutional change enabled the Central government to have a more active role in national education policy formulation and implementation alongside the states.
Therefore, the 42nd Amendment is the correct answer as it designated Education as a subject in the Concurrent List.
