Answer:
The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act
The Constitutional (73rd Amendment) Act, passed in 1992 by the Narasimha Rao government, came into force on April 24, 1993. It was meant to provide constitutional sanction to establish "democracy at the grassroots level as it is at the state level or national level".
Explanation:
The basic features of the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act are:
It provides for a 3-tier Panchayat system, which would be constituted in every state at the village level, intermediate level and district level. This provision brought the uniformity in the Panchayati Raj structure in India.
There is a provision of reservation of seats for SCs and STs at every level of Panchayat. The seats are to be reserved for SCs and STs in proportion to their population at each level.
State Election Commission would have the power to supervise, direct and control the elections to the Panchayats and also prepare the electoral rolls.
It introduced Schedule 11 to the Indian Constitution which has a list of subjects under the Panchayat Raj institutions or rural local government.
