    • Article-1 describes India as a ‘Union of States’.

    • Dr. B.R. Ambedkar said that the Indian federation was a “Union” because it was indissoluble, and
    no State had a right to separate from the Indian Union.

    • The country is one integral unit beside the fact that it consists of different states for the
    convenience of administration.

    Formation of New state
    • Thus Parliament can increase or diminish the area of any State or can alter the boundaries or names of any State.
    Parliament follows the following procedures in this regard.
    • Step-1: Either House of the Parliament, only on the recommendation of the President, can introduce a Bill giving
    effect to any or all the changes stated above.

    • Step-2: If such a bill affects the boundary or name of a State, then the President will refer the Bill to the concerned
    State Legislature before introducing it in the Parliament for their opinion.
    • Step-3: If the State Legislature fails to express an opinion within the given time limit then it is deemed that it has
    expressed its views. Parliament is not bound to accept or act upon the views of the State Legislature even if State
    has submitted their views within the time period.

    • In the case of Union Territories, it is not necessary to seek the views of Legislatures of Union Territories before
    such Bill.

    this Article provides power to create a new state beyond the present territory. On the other hand,
    Article-3 deals with the establishment or creation of new states after the reorganization of existing
    states which are already parts of India.

    provisions, as the Parliament may deem necessary.
