Subject: Polity
Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Special Status, historically conferred under Article 371, grants unique administrative or legislative autonomy to regions like Nagaland, Mizoram, or Andhra Pradesh (post-bifurcation). Special Category States, designated by the National Development Council, receive preferential financial allocations for development. They often face geographical or socio-economic disadvantages (Himalayan terrain, tribal populations). Over time, Finance Commissions and changes in policy have altered the benefits. Distinguishing both is crucial: “special status” modifies governance structures constitutionally, while “special category” deals with economic packages. Both reflect India’s efforts to accommodate regional diversity, ensuring fair resource distribution and socio-cultural preservation.
