    Solution

    Under Article 356 of the Constitution of India, the President can take over the administration of a state if its constitutional machinery breaks down. This provision is commonly referred to as "President's Rule." President's rule can be extended to a maximum period of three years subject to the approval of the Parliament every six months. India borrowed this provision from the Government of India Act 1935.
