Q. Consider the following statements:
- ‘Sports’ is a State subject under Entry No.33 of List-II (State List) of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India.
- Currently, there is a Constitution Amendment Bill which proposes transfer of the subject ‘Sports’ from the State List to the Concurrent List of the Constitution of India
- Union Government can not legislate on the matters of Sports Development
Which among the above statements is / are correct?
Answer:
Only 1 is correct
Notes: Explanation: 1. State Subject: Sports is indeed a State subject under Entry No. 33 of List-II (State List) of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. This means that states have the authority to legislate on sports-related matters. 2. Constitution Amendment Bill: As of my last update, there has been no successful amendment to transfer 'Sports' to the Concurrent List, making this statement incorrect. 3. Union Government Legislation: The Union Government can legislate on sports development through various means, such as the National Sports Development Code of India, thus making this statement incorrect. Therefore, only the first statement is correct.
