The provisions regarding President's Rule have been incorporated in the Constitution of India to maintain the unity and integrity of the country, the law and order, and the proper functioning of constitutional machinery in the States. The President's Rule under Article 356 of the Constitution has been used 101 times till 2001. In some cases the Union Government has rightly used this power for legitimate purposes, but this power has mostly been misused for partisan purposes. A number of committees and commissions have been appointed for recommending Administrative Reforms and they have studied specific areas of administration. Sarkaria commission which analyzed 75 cases of President's Rule from June 1951 to May 1987, has made a large number of recommendations to stop misuse of article 356.
