Discuss whether formation of new states in recent times is beneficial or not for the economy of India. (15) Why this question! The debate on whether formation of new states bring improvements in governance at ground level is evergreen issue and UPSC has asked this quite good number of times. However, this time the commission has tweaked this issue a bit and has asked instead on the economic implications of forming new states. Moreover, the question has been asked in a debate manner where you have to answer both aspects of the question- in favour as well as in against. Approach: Briefly discuss the constitutional philosophy behind keeping ‘state creation’ a simple process rather than a complicated one as the case is with constitution amendment. Give both in favour as well as in against of the move creating a separate state. Give examples such as Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Telangana, etc. Conclude with your own assessment.
