Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) I, II and III
The National Development Council (1952) and the Governors’ Conference exist only by executive resolution, while the five Zonal Councils were created by the States Reorganisation Act, 1956; none of these bodies is mentioned in the Constitution, so they are termed extra-constitutional/extra-legal. The Inter-State Council, however, is a constitutional body under Article 263. Therefore statements I, II and III are correct – option (a).
