Question

changes towards decentralization brought in the constitution after the amendment made in 1992​

Answer 1

Answer:

Providing administrative power and the responsibility of developing the village to people themselves is called decentralisation.

Decentralisation reduces various kinds of exploitation, upholds human independence and dignity, and nurtures humane values like compassion and co-operation.

The Panchayat Raj system has been rejuvenated in India in order to promote decentralisation. The Government of India enacted the 73rd constitutional amendment Act in 1993,which established a uniform system of Panchayat Raj institutions throughout the country

The Act conferred constitutional status to the Panchayat institutions. As per the act, a three-tier system of panchayats has come into existence. Key features of Panchayat Raj system adopted in India are:

1. a three-tier structure of district, taluk and village panchayats with the Grama Sabha as foundation
2. direct and periodic elections
3. reservation of seats for scheduled castes(SCs) and scheduled tribes( STs), backward classes and women
4. provision of major financial and administrative responsibilities, budget and audit requirements
5. provision for executive/support staff and
6. a strict procedure for dissolution/suppression of panchayats and mandatory elections within six months of dissolution
