The current session will also deal with centre-state relations revolving around mega projects, stakeholders' participation in such projects, land acquisition and rehabilitation.

'Inclusive growth of economy envisaged under the national plans can be achieved only through centre-state cooperation, efficient institutional mechanisms coupled with stakeholder participation and addressing the critical issues in land acquisition and rehabilitation of project-affected people,' Punchhi said.

Harmonious centre-state relations were of significance considering that 'the fast growth of economy had placed increasing emphasis on infrastructure projects in areas such as energy, communications, railways, roads, airports, irrigation, etc', he added.

Punchhi said the last two decades had witnessed significant development in the political, economic and social fields necessitating a re-look at the inter-relationship between the centre and the states.

The commission was set up in April 2007.
