How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- The Darbar Move in Jammu and Kashmir involves the biannual shifting of the civil secretariat and offices between two capitals.
- Srinagar serves as the summer capital and Jammu as the winter capital of Jammu and Kashmir.
- The Darbar Move is an administrative practice that dates back to the Dogra rule.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II (Governance; Union Territories): The Darbar Move is a unique two-capital system inherited from Dogra rule that balances the regional aspirations of Kashmir and Jammu, but it carries costs in money, record-handling and disruption of services. Its suspension in 2021 and restoration show the debate between e-governance efficiency and regional symbolism. The way forward lies in digitised records and e-offices that retain the integrative role of the practice at lower cost.
