How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • Part IX of the Constitution, inserted by the 73rd Amendment Act, 1992, deals with Panchayats.
  • The Eleventh Schedule, added by the 73rd Amendment, lists 29 subjects for Panchayats.
  • The 74th Amendment Act, 1992 deals with municipalities (Part IXA), not Panchayats.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS2 (Governance, Panchayati Raj): Despite constitutional status under Part IX, Panchayats often lack funds, functions and functionaries. Schemes like PM Viksit Gram Swaraj Yojana, with funding up to FY31 and training of elected representatives, address capacity gaps. The way forward is genuine devolution of the 29 subjects, stronger State Finance Commissions and regular local own-source revenue.
