Which of the following commissions was appointed by the Central Government in 1983 to examine issues relating to Centre–State relations and recommended that the appointment of Governors should be strictly non-partisan?
Sarkaria Commission
The Sarkaria Commission was set up in June 1983 by the Union Government under the chairmanship of Justice Ranjit Singh Sarkaria to review the working of the existing arrangements between the Centre and the States.
Its report, submitted in 1988, made 247 recommendations, including that Governors should be eminent persons from outside the state, non-partisan, not recently active in politics, and appointed only after consulting the Chief Minister.
The Kothari Commission (1964–66) dealt with education, the Mandal Commission (1979) with backward-class reservations, and the Rajamannar Committee (1969) was set up by the Tamil Nadu government, not the Centre.
Hence, the answer is the Sarkaria Commission.
