.....in respect of two or more States, while in some other cases there is more than one Board functioning in the same State. This is not a satisfactory arrangement. It is, therefore, necessary to reconstitute such Boards as intra-State bodies. It is accordingly proposed to empower the Central Government to make, wherever necessary, suitable orders for the reconstitution of these Boards and for division of their assets and liabilities. In regard to the composition of the Boards, the Act makes a distinction between Part A States, Part B States and Part C States. This distinction no longer holds good.
