FIRST SCHEDULE
[Articles 1 and 4]
THE STATES AND THE TERRITORIES OP INDIA
*Part I

ment of this Constitution as the Governors’ Provinces of—
5
1. Madras,
2. Bombay,
3. West Bengal,
4. The United Provinces,
5. Bihar, 10

ment of this Constitution as the Chief Commissioners’

*The Committee has anxiously considered the question whether
Andhra should be specifically mentioned as a separate State in this Sche-
dule. There was recently a statement by the Government on this subject,
in which it was said that Andhra could be included among the Provinces
in the Constitution as was done in the case of Orissa and Sind under the
Government of India Act, 1935. Accordingly the Committee was at one
stage inclined to mention Andhra as a distinct State in the Schedule. On
fuller consideration, however, the Committee feels that the bare mention
of the State in the Schedule will not suffice to bring it into being from the
commencement of the new Constitution. Preparatory steps will have to
be taken immediately under the present Constitution in order that the new
State, with all the machinery of government, may be in being from the
commencement of the new Constitution. This was what was done in the
case of Orissa and Sind under the Act of 1935: they were made into sepa-
rate Provinces with effect from April 1, 1936, while the Act came into
operation on April 1, 1937. The Committee therefore recommends that
a Commission should be appointed to work out or inquire into all relevant
matters not only as regards Andhra but also as regards other linguistic
regions, with instructions to submit its report in time to enable any new
States whose formation it may recommend to be created under section 290
of the Act of 1935 and to be mentioned in this Schedule before the Consti-
tution is finally adopted.
