This book discussion session was chaired by Prof. Shri Prakash Mani Tripathi (Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University, Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh). Prof. Yatindra Singh Sisodia (Professor and Director, Madhya Pradesh Social Science Research Institute, Ujjain) was present as the chief guest in this session. The editor of the book, Prof. Saroj Kumar Verma (Former Head of Political Science and Former Dean of Faculty of Social Sciences, J.P. University, Chhapra, Bihar) was present. Four leading professors of political science from India were present as panelists in the session, including Prof. Tanvir Aijaz, Department of Political Science, Ramjas College, University of Delhi, Vice President, Centre for Multilevel Federalism (CMF), Institute of Social Sciences, New Delhi, Prof. Anisur Rahman, Professor and Director, UGC-Human Resource Development Centre, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, Prof. Sonali Singh, Professor in the Department of Political Science, Banaras Hindu University and Prof. Anupama Kaushik, Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Dr. Harisingh Gour University, Sagar. Program coordinator Vikas Kumar (Research Scholar, Department of Political Science and Human Rights, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University, Amarkantak) welcomed everyone in the beginning and presented the objectives of the book discussion to everyone. In his presidential address, the honourable Vice Chancellor said that Professor Verma has accomplished this task by making tireless efforts, because collecting and editing good research papers is a more difficult task than writing research papers and books. He included many dimensions of federalism and said that its nature depends on the cooperation and coordination between the Centre and the states. It is often seen that sometimes conflicts arise between the states and the Centre over the use of powers, but this is not the case. This happens when some special demands are made by the states and the Centre does not fulfill them. But in India, both have always operated in the spirit of cooperation. Prof Sisodia said in his speech that many forms of federalism were seen in India, in which he explained the contemporary aspects that are developing by linking Granville Austin’s cooperative federalism to this book. The editor of the book, Prof Verma, threw light on the inspiration behind writing the book and the various aspects of federalism, especially cooperative federalism.
