Explanation

Prior to the 42nd Constitutional Amendment (1976), education was listed in the State List of the Constitution, meaning state governments had exclusive legislative authority over education. The 42nd Amendment moved education to the Concurrent List, allowing both central and state governments to make laws on educational matters. This was a significant shift in India's federal educational governance.
