Answers
Answer:
Panchayati Raj acts for the utility of persons living within a village. It works hard to help and support the people so that they can get access to primary education facilities, proper health and social care services, or develop farming and agricultural means.
According to the constitution amendment act 1992. The role of Panchayati Raj Institutions in agricultural development related to these seven:
Land improvement, implementation of land reforms, land consolidation and soil conservation,
Agriculture including agricultural extension,
Minor irrigatin, water management and watershed development,
Animal husbandry, dairying and poultry,
Fishery,
Social forestry and farm-forestry and
Minor forest produce.
Following the implementation years, there was found to be lot of difference in the implementation by the states, and may states still did not integrate the PRIs and the planning process for implementation of programs. For the same, the Planning Commission set up a task force in 2001 with two objectives in mind:
To set up guidelines for the PRIs in central and departmental schemes,
Recommend how to integrate PRIs and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).
The second objective was important because of the growing importance of NGOs to implement schemes and programs. In the areas of crop development, credit and cooperation and crop insurance. In the subsequent sections we will identify the activities relating to agricultural works and specify the role to be played by PRIs in coordinating the works.
