Appeared in: AIIMS Raipur lecturer 2021

Explanation

  • The subject 'Immigration and emigration' is listed under the Union List (List I) in the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
  • Matters on the Union List are within the exclusive legislative competence of the Parliament of India (Central Government).
  • This subject deals with the entry into and exit from India, which is a matter of national sovereignty and security, hence it is kept under central control.
  • Since the question asks for the exception from the Concurrent List, this is the correct answer.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option B: This is incorrect because 'Labor welfare' is a subject mentioned in the Concurrent List (List III).
  • Option C: This is incorrect because 'Prevention of adulteration of food stuffs' is explicitly mentioned in the Concurrent List (List III).
  • Option D: This is incorrect because 'Vital statistics', which includes the registration of births and deaths, is a subject on the Concurrent List (List III).

Clinical Relevance
  • Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Division of legislative powers for health-related subjects under the Indian Constitution's Seventh Schedule as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
  • Understanding the constitutional division of health subjects is crucial for public health nurses as it clarifies which level of government is responsible for different health policies and programs.
  • For example, while the Central government (Union List) sets drug standards, state governments are responsible for the functioning of hospitals and dispensaries (State List).
  • Nurses often work in programs related to the Concurrent List, such as family planning, disease control, and food safety, which require coordination between central policies and state-level implementation.
How to Approach the Question
  • First, identify the keyword 'EXCEPT' in the question. This means you need to find the option that does not belong to the group mentioned.
  • The question asks for the item that is NOT a component of the 'Concurrent list'.
  • Recall the three lists in the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution: Union, State, and Concurrent.
  • Analyze each option to determine which list it belongs to.
  • Evaluate: 'Labor welfare', 'Prevention of adulteration of food stuffs', and 'Vital statistics' are all subjects where both the Centre and States can legislate, placing them on the Concurrent List.
  • Evaluate: 'Immigration and emigration' is a matter of national importance and is handled exclusively by the Central Government, placing it on the Union List.
