Which of the following commissions recommended the establishment of a Permanent Secretariat for the Inter-State Council to institutionalize Centre-State cooperation?
Sarkaria Commission
The Sarkaria Commission on Centre-State Relations (1983–88), headed by Justice R. S. Sarkaria, recommended the setting up of a permanent Inter-State Council under Article 263 of the Constitution (which it called the ‘Inter-Governmental Council’), supported by a permanent Secretariat to give continuity and credibility to its work. Acting on this recommendation, the Inter-State Council was established by Presidential Order in 1990 and the Inter-State Council Secretariat was set up in 1991.
The Punchhi Commission (2007–10) later built on these recommendations, but the original recommendation came from Sarkaria.
Hence, the correct answer is Sarkaria Commission.
