Which Article of the Indian Constitution was amended by the 106th Amendment Act to provide rd reservation for women?
Correct Answer :
All of the above
Solution :
The correct option is All of the above.
The 106th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2023 (officially known as the Constitution (One Hundred and Sixth Amendment) Act, 2023 or the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam) seeks to provide 33% (or
rd) reservation for women in the Lok Sabha, State Legislative Assemblies, and the Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
To implement this reservation, the 106th Amendment Act inserted several new articles into the Constitution of India:
1. Article 239AA: Amended by inserting clause (2BA) to reserve seats for women in the Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
2. Article 330A: Newly inserted to provide reservation of seats for women in the Lok Sabha (House of the People).
3. Article 332A: Newly inserted to provide reservation of seats for women in the Legislative Assemblies of the States.
Since all three articles—Article 239AA, Article 330A, and Article 332A—were added or amended under the 106th Amendment Act to grant this
rd reservation for women, the correct choice is All of the above.
