Q1. As per the Constitution of India, the name of a state in the Union of India can be altered by:
A Cabinet Committee
B Governor
C President
D Parliament Correct
Explanation
Under Article 3 of the Constitution of India, Parliament may by law form new states and alter the areas, boundaries or names of existing states. The President has an important procedural role because the Bill is introduced only on the President's recommendation and the concerned state legislature is asked for its views, but the final legislative power rests with Parliament. A Governor cannot rename a state. A Cabinet Committee may advise within the executive, but it has no constitutional power to alter a state's name.
