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 Casters Women within the quota reserved for the Scheduled Castes. Which of the statements given above are correct?
1, 2 and 3
1 and 2 only
2 and 3 only
1 and 3 only
Solution
Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam (106th Amendment, 2023) reserves one-third of seats in Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies for women, including within SC/ST quotas. It will come into force after the next census and delimitation (not necessarily from the 18th Lok Sabha) and remain in force for 15 years. Statement 1 is therefore incorrect.
