Many State Governments further bifurcate geographical administrative areas like Districts and Talukas for better governance. In light of the above, can it also be justified that more number of smaller States would bring in effective governance at State level? Discuss.

हिन्दी

अनेक राज्य सरकारें बेहतर प्रशासन के लिए भौगोलिक प्रशासनिक इकाइयों जैसे जनपद व तालुकों को विभाजित कर देती हैं। उक्त के आलोक में, क्या यह भी औचित्यपूर्ण कहा जा सकता है कि अधिक संख्या में छोटे राज्य, राज्य स्तर पर प्रभावी शासन देंगे? विवेचना कीजिए।
