How the exam will ask it
প্রিলিমস
- Panchayati Raj is a State subject under the Seventh Schedule, while the Union Ministry of Panchayati Raj supports it through Centrally Sponsored and Central Sector schemes.
- Part IX of the Constitution (Articles 243 to 243O) deals with Panchayats, and the Eleventh Schedule lists 29 functional items for them.
- Localisation of SDGs means aligning Gram Panchayat development plans with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals through decentralised planning.
মেইনস
GS2 Governance: Panchayati Raj. Issue: Panchayats often lack funds, functionaries and digital capacity despite the 73rd Amendment. Policy: a Cabinet-approved scheme for rural infrastructure, e-governance and capacity-building, tied to localised SDGs and decentralised planning. Implication and way forward: real impact needs devolution of the 3Fs (funds, functions, functionaries), stronger Gram Sabhas and State Finance Commission support.
