Consider the following case and choose the correct option: Suppose the Central Government introduces a new education policy. The Government of Tamilnadu opposes it, arguing that education is a State subject. Can the Central Government enforce this policy?
Education falls under the Concurrent List, meaning both the Central and State Governments can make laws on it.
However, if a conflict arises, the Central Government’s law prevails, allowing it to enforce a national education policy across all states.

The subject of education lies in the Concurrent List, where both Central and State Governments share legislative powers. Therefore, the Central Government can introduce and implement an education policy even if a state disagrees. In case of any conflict between the two, the Central law overrides the State law, ensuring uniformity and coordination in educational reforms nationwide. Correct Option: (a) Yes, because education is a Concurrent List Subject.
