How have Zonal Councils evolved from merely advisory bodies to proactive platforms for action?

Characteristics of Federal Governance: 1) Institutionalised devolution of power. Eg: central Govt ↓ state Govt ↓ PRI's / ULB's. 2) Governance on the basis of principle of subsidiarity. 3) Focus on accommodation of conflicts and diverse representation Eg: linguistic formation of states. 4) Effective governance due to inclusiveness, localised functions and accountability checks.

Evolution of zonal councils: Zonal councils ⇒ state Reorganisation Act, 1956 with Home minister as the ca. (1) Regional dialogues and negotiation for overall development of country. Eg: North-Eastern council with ministry of NER. (2) Resolution of river and territorial disputes. Eg: Northern Council eupted in tares b/w Himachal & Haryana over Paravanao region. (3) Mutual trust and common aspirations of development. Eg: Eastern council is overall ch. of 'Pasvodaya'. (4) Acts as a pressure group for improving centre-states negotiations.
