The Panchayati Raj system in India, advocating for democratic decentralization, was recommended by the Balwant Rai Mehta Committee in 1957. This committee emphasized the need for a decentralized governance structure to empower local self-governments, ensuring greater participation of citizens in the decision-making process. The recommendations led to the establishment of the Panchayati Raj system, which aimed to bring governance closer to the people, enhance accountability, and promote rural development. The committee’s report marked a significant step in India’s journey towards strengthening grassroots democracy and fostering effective local governance.
