<P> In December 1953, Nehru appointed the States Reorganisation Commission to prepare for the creation of states on linguistic lines . This was headed by Justice Fazal Ali and the commission itself was also known as the Fazal Ali Commission . The efforts of this commission were overseen by Govind Ballabh Pant, who served as Nehru's Home Minister from December 1954 . The commission created a report in 1955 recommending the reorganisation of India's states . Under the Seventh Amendment, the existing distinction between Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D states was abolished . The distinction between Part A and Part B states was removed, becoming known simply as "states". A new type of entity, the union territory, replaced the classification as a Part C or Part D state . Nehru stressed commonality among Indians and promoted pan-Indianism . He refused to reorganise states on either religious or ethnic lines . Western scholars have mostly praised Nehru for the integration of the states into a modern republic but the act was not accepted universally in India . </P> <P> Jawaharlal Nehru was a passionate advocate of education for India's children and youth, believing it essential for India's future progress . His government oversaw the establishment of many institutions of higher learning, including the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, the Indian Institutes of Technology, the Indian Institutes of Management and the National Institutes of Technology . Nehru also outlined a commitment in his five - year plans to guarantee free and compulsory primary education to all of India's children . For this purpose, Nehru oversaw the creation of mass village enrollment programs and the construction of thousands of schools . Nehru also launched initiatives such as the provision of free milk and meals to children to fight malnutrition . Adult education centers, vocational and technical schools were also organised for adults, especially in the rural areas . </P> <P> Under Nehru, the Indian Parliament enacted many changes to Hindu law to criminalize caste discrimination and increase the legal rights and social freedoms of women . A system of reservations in government services and educational institutions was created to eradicate the social inequalities and disadvantages faced by peoples of the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes . Nehru also championed secularism and religious harmony, increasing the representation of minorities in government . </P> <P> Nehru specifically wrote Article 44 of the Indian constitution under the Directive Principles of State Policy which states:' The State shall endeavor to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India .' The article has formed the basis of secularism in India . However, Nehru has been criticized for the inconsistent application of the law . Most notably, Nehru allowed Muslims to keep their personal law in matters relating to marriage and inheritance . Also in the small state of Goa, a civil code based on the old Portuguese Family Laws was allowed to continue, and Muslim Personal law was prohibited by Nehru . This was the result of the annexation of Goa in 1961 by India, when Nehru promised the people that their laws would be left intact . This has led to accusations of selective secularism . </P>
