The term ‘Panchayati Raj’ refers to the system of local self-government in rural areas of India. Established under the 73rd Amendment of the Indian Constitution in 1992, it aims to decentralize power and enhance grassroots democracy. The Panchayati Raj system consists of three tiers: the Gram Panchayat (village level), the Panchayat Samiti (block level), and the Zila Parishad (district level). Each tier has elected representatives responsible for local administration, development, and implementing government schemes. This system empowers communities to participate in decision-making processes, ensuring that the needs and interests of rural populations are addressed effectively and sustainably.
