As the Centre for Multilevel Federalism prepares to enter its fifteenth year, we are happy to launch a new series called Field Reports (FR). This series is intended to keep our members abreast of happenings in the states which are of particular significance to India’s federal democracy. The FR series will complement our existing Indian Federalism Perspectives series (IFP) edited by KK Kailash, ably supported by Amal Jose.
