Section 93 directs the Central Government to take necessary measures listed in the Thirteenth Schedule for progress and sustainable development of successor States within ten years of the appointed day. The Schedule covers education, health and infrastructure commitments. It is a source list for exam questions, but the exact verbs matter: “take steps,” “establish” and “develop” describe different tasks. The provision did not make every listed institution or project instantly operational on 2 June 2014.

Examples include nationally important higher-education institutions for AP, an AIIMS-type hospital and infrastructure proposals such as a new major port. An answer about whether a particular institution is operating in 2026 requires a current official institution source, not just the 2014 Schedule. Similarly, a project being delayed or redesigned does not erase the historical text. Keep the statutory commitment and implementation audit on separate pages. The decade reference should be read as a statutory time frame for measures, not as a universal completion certificate.

Worked example: Section 93 points to infrastructure and development commitments in the Thirteenth Schedule. A schedule entry can direct governmental action without fixing the date when every facility opens. Make two columns: what the Act provides and what later sanction or progress records show. This avoids marking a proposed port, airport or educational facility as fully functioning merely because it appears in a statutory schedule.

Active recall: Which section points to the Thirteenth Schedule? Give two education or health examples and one infrastructure example.
