    The Rajamannar Committee was set up in 1969 by the Tamil Nadu government to secure the utmost autonomy for the states. The committee submitted its report in 1971. The important recommendations of the committee are as follows: 

    • An Inter-State Council should be set up immediately,

    • Finance Commission should be made a permanent body, 

    • Planning Commission should be disbanded and its place taken by a statutory body;

    • Articles 356, 357, and 365 (dealing with President’s Rule) should be totally omitted; 

    • The provision that the state ministry holds office at the pleasure of the governor should be omitted,etc.

    The Sarkaria Commission was set up in 1983. It submitted its report in 1988.  The Commission made 247 recommendations to improve centre-state relations, which are

    • A permanent Inter-State Council should be set up under Article 263. 

    • The institution of All-India Services should be further strengthened. 

    • The Governor cannot dismiss the council of ministers so long as it commands a majority in the assembly.

    • Steps should be taken to uniformly implement the three-language formula in its true spirit. etc

    The Punchhi Commission was set up in April 2007, and its report was submitted to the government in March 2010. The Commission made over 310 recommendations regarding centre state relations:

    • It recommended the creation of a superseding structure for matters relating to internal security (like the Homeland Security Department in the United States). This structure could be known as the ‘National Integration Council’. 

    • The States should be consulted before bills are introduced on matters that fall on the concurrent list. 

    • The treaty-making power of the union should be regulated with respect to treaties formulated in concern with the matters present in the State list. etc

    Swaran Singh Committee was related to the incorporation of Fundamental duties in the constitution of India. 

    Hence option 3rd is correct.
