Abstract

This paper explains new dimensions in federal discourse in India. Today, with the changing socio-economic world, India is aiming towards competitive federalism. Competitive federalism deals with the relationship among two or more states in matters of trade, investment and commerce. Union government is responsible only for making rules of this competition. States compete with each other to attract funds and investment, which facilitates efficiency in administration and enhances developmental activities. A healthy competition is necessary for any state or country to achieve the advancement in different sectors. Co-operative and competitive federalism is not mutually exclusive concept. They are the two sides of a same coin. They have the same basic principles underlying - progress of the nation as a whole. Hence, in order to achieve the developmental goals and having good governance, there is need to ensure that there is enough balance between the two types of federalism.
