How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Kalaburagi is the divisional headquarters of the Kalyana Karnataka region of Karnataka.
- Article 371(J), inserted by the 98th Constitutional Amendment, provides special status to the Hyderabad-Karnataka (now Kalyana Karnataka) region.
- Article 371(J) provides for a regional development board and reservation in education and public employment for the region's residents.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II Governance: regional imbalance in development is addressed through decentralisation and asymmetric federal provisions. A second capital could bring administration closer to a backward region, building on Article 371(J) and the region's development board. Its success depends on real devolution of functions, funds and officials, with the costs of duplicated administrative infrastructure weighed against the gains.
