| What was the objective of the commission chaired by Shri S.K. Dar in 1948? | to examine and report on the formation of the new linguistic provinces of Andhra, Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra | This map illustrates the formation of states and the merger of smaller units with the adjoining states was not the end of the reorganisation of the country into viable administrative divisions. The states were found to be very unequal in size, population and resources. Their classification into three categories known as Part A, B & C states did not prove to be a tidy solution. Consequently a commission under the chairmanship of Shri S.K. Dar was appointed to examine and report on the formation of the new linguistic provinces of Andhra, Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra in June 1948. Its report was in favour of maintaining status quo. The question of the formation of these linguistic states was dropped for the time being following a review of the situation by the J.V.P. committee comprising Shri Jawaharlal Nehru, Shri Vallabhai Patel and Shri Pattabhi Sitaramaiah. | 460 | summary | 0.970 | Dar was appointed to examine and report on the formation of the new linguistic provinces of Andhra, Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra in June 1948. | 60 | page=60,ocr=1 | 0.700 | valid |
