Explanation:

The Inter State Councils are mentioned under article 263 as a forum of coordination between centre-states and between states. The first one was set up in 1990 on the recommendations of Sarkaria commission.

There is no compulsion on the president to set up these bodies after every 10 years.

Recently an Inter State Council was established after a gap of 10 years. These Inter State Councils are supposed to meet thrice every year but in the past 27 years they have met only 11 times.
