Question

Fill in the blanks:
Subjects on the Concurrent List were---- and-----

Answer 1

Hint: The Concurrent List, also known as List-III (Seventh Schedule), is a list of 52 items found in the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution (though the last subject is numbered 47). It includes the ability to be taken into account by both the federal and state governments.

Complete answer:
Union List, State List, and Concurrent List are the three lists that make up the legislative section. In contrast to the federal governments of the United States, Switzerland, and Australia, the Union Government retains residual powers, as does the federal government of Canada.

Forestry and agriculture were on the Concurrent List. The 42 nd Constitution Amendment Act, 1976 , moves the subject of forest and wildlife protection from the State List to the Concurrent List. When a Central Law and a State Law conflict on the same subject, the Central Law takes precedence.

Agriculture has a long history in India, dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization. India is the world's second-largest producer of agricultural products. Agriculture employed more than half of the Indian workforce in 2018 and contributed 17-18% to the country's GDP. Article 246 establishes three lists: I (Union List), II (State List), and III (Concurrent List), all of which apply to both the Union and the states. These three lists can be found in Schedule 7 of the constitution. The word "agriculture" finds mention 12 times in the three lists.

Thus, Forestry and agriculture were on the Concurrent List.

Note: "Where a law is made by the Legislature of a State concerning one of the matters enumerated in the Concurrent List contains any provision repugnant to the provisions of an earlier law made by Parliament or any existing law concerning that matter, then, if it has been reserved for the Concurrent List, the law so made by the Legislature of such State shall, if it has been reserved for the Concurrent List, supersede the law so made by the Legislature of such State."
