as the provincial legislative councils contained a considerable majority of elected members. In a system called "dyarchy," the nation-building departments of government were placed under ministers who were individually responsible to the legislature. The departments that made up the "steel frame" of British rule were retained by executive councilors who were nominated by the Governor. They were often, but not always, British and who were responsible to the governor. The Act of 1919 introduced Diarchy in the provinces. Accordingly, the Rights of the Central and Provincial Governments were divided in clear-cut terms. The central list included rights over defence, foreign affairs, telegraphs, railways, postal, foreign trade etc. The provincial list dealt with the affairs like health, sanitation, education, public work, irrigation, jail, police, justice etc. The powers which were not included in the state list vested in the hands of the centre.

In 1921, the "Diarchy" was installed in Bengal, Madras, Bombay, the United Provinces, the Central Provinces, the Punjab, Bihar and Orissa, and Assam; in 1932 it was extended to the North-West Frontier Province.

The main provisions were the following: The secretary of state would control affairs relating to Government of India. The Imperial Legislative Council would comprise two chambers- the Council of State and the Central Legislative Assembly. The Imperial Legislative Council was empowered to enact laws on any matter for whole of India. The Governor General was given powers to summon, prorogue, dissolve the Chambers, and to promulgate Ordinances. The number of Indians in Viceroy's Executive Council would be three out of eight members. Establishment of bicameral Provincial Legislative councils. Dyarchy in the Provinces- Reserved subjects like Finance, Law and Order, Army, Police etc. Transferred subjects like Public Health, Education, Agriculture, Local Self-government etc. There would henceforth be direct election and an extension of Communal franchise. A council of princes was also set up with 108 members to allow princes to debate matters of importance. But it had no power and some princes didn't
