Centre forms high-level panel to study demographic changes in border districts and urban hubs

The Centre has constituted a high-level committee under Justice Prakash Prabhakar Naolekar. The panel will study demographic changes in border districts, metropolitan cities, and industrial hubs. It will examine migration patterns, population trends, and security implications. The committee is expected to submit its report to the Home Ministry within a year. This makes the issue relevant for internal security, governance, and demographic policy. It is important for exams because committees, their heads, and their mandates are frequently asked in objective tests.[1]
