மெயின்ஸ்
GS2: Federalism and special provisions for states. The issue is regional imbalance in development and public employment. Article 371(J) addresses it through local reservation and a regional development board. The implication is that recruitment bodies like KEA must apply regional cadre rules transparently, and the way forward is timely, merit-based and litigation-proof recruitment alongside stronger regional development funding.
