The Madhya Pradesh government has announced the creation of a high‑level committee to assess the feasibility of implementing the Uniform Civil Code across the state.
The Madhya Pradesh government has set up a high‑level committee to evaluate the feasibility of implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) across the state.
The committee, chaired by a senior bureaucrat, will comprise legal experts, social scientists and representatives from civil society. It is expected to review the legal framework, social implications and administrative challenges of adopting a uniform code.
Members will consult with stakeholders, including community leaders and scholars, and compile findings into a report for the state cabinet by the end of the fiscal year.
The decision follows growing debate over the UCC, with proponents arguing it would promote equality and national integration, while opponents cite concerns about cultural diversity and religious freedom.
