UPSC 2024: Consider the following statements regarding 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam': 1. Provisions will come into effect from the 18th Lok Sabha. 2. This will be in force for 15 years after becoming an Act. 3. There are provisions for the reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes Women within the quota reserved for the Scheduled Castes. Which of the statements given above are correct?
(a)1, 2 and 3
(b)1 and 2 only
(c)2 and 3 only
(d)1 and 3 only
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 2 and 3 only
The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam (128th Constitution Amendment, 2023) will become operative only after the post-2026 Census–based delimitation; therefore it will not apply from the 18th Lok Sabha, so statement 1 is wrong. The Act provides that the reservation shall cease 15 years after its commencement, so statement 2 is correct. It also mandates that within the SC/ST reserved quota, one-third of those seats will be reserved for women, so statement 3 is correct. Thus only 2 and 3 are correct (option c).
