Administrative Relations

Administrative relations are governed by a range of constitutional and executive provisions. Article 355, for example, imposes a duty on the Centre to ensure that state administrations function smoothly. This includes the provision of necessary resources, supervisory measures, and guidelines to maintain administrative efficiency across all States.

Coordination between the Centre and the States is achieved through various administrative orders and central schemes that aim to standardize governance while respecting state autonomy. This mechanism also includes supervisory controls during administrative crises, ensuring that disruptions are minimized and continuity is maintained.

Judicial oversight has further clarified these relationships, ensuring that the Centre's intervention remains within constitutional bounds while supporting state-level administration.
