Original Constitution and Part C States
In the original Constitution of 1949, the States were divided into three categories, included in Parts A, B, and C of the First Schedule of the Constitution.
Part C States were 10 in number, namely:
Ajmer
Bhopal
Bilaspur
Coorg
Delhi
Himachal Pradesh
Kutch
Manipur
Tripura
Vindhya Pradesh
Of these, Himachal Pradesh, Bhopal, Bilaspur, Kutch, Manipur, Tripura, and Vindhya Pradesh had been formed by the integration of smaller Indian States. The States of Ajmer, Coorg, and Delhi were Chief Commissioner’s Provinces under the Government of India Acts, 1919 and 1935, and were thus administered by the Centre even before the Constitution.
