Hello Riya,

Union List - It is a list of subjects of national importance. These include national defence, foreign affairs, banking, communications and currency. These subjects are included in this list because there is a need for the formation of a uniform national policy on these issues. The Union government has exclusive jurisdiction over subjects included in the Union List.

State List - It is a list of subjects of state and local importance. These include police, trade, commerce, agriculture and irrigation. The law relating to these subjects can be made only by the State Governments.

Concurrent List - The Concurrent List contains subjects of common interest to both the Union as well as the States. These include education, forest, trade unions, marriage, adoption and succession. The law relating to these subjects can be made by both the Central and State Governments.
