Q1. The Punchhi Commission (2010) is associated with which of the following?
A Centre-state relations Correct
B Abolition of the death penalty
C Reforms in education
D Tax reforms
Explanation
The Punchhi Commission examined centre-state relations and submitted its report in 2010. It reviewed issues such as the role of governors, emergency provisions, fiscal relations and mechanisms for cooperative federalism. Abolition of the death penalty is a criminal justice and law reform issue, not the subject of this commission. Reforms in education are linked to education commissions and policy bodies. Tax reforms are associated with fiscal committees and commissions, not the Punchhi Commission’s main mandate. Therefore, centre-state relations is the correct association.
