The Thirty-Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of India was enacted in 1976. It aimed to enhance the powers of the central government and streamline the process of governance. This amendment was part of a series of changes during the period of the Emergency, which lasted from 1975 to 1977. One significant aspect of the Thirty-Sixth Amendment was its impact on the relationship between the central and state governments. It allowed for greater central control over state matters, particularly in areas like education and healthcare. This shift was intended to promote uniformity and efficiency in administration across the country.
