Answer:Panchayati raj: Panchayats as institutional means for development have been part of the Indian system since olden time. ... Therefore, the system of democratic decentralization commonly known as Panchayati Raj is considered as an effectual means to ensure democracy and socio-economic transformation.

The Standing Committee on Rural Development (Chair: Dr. P Venugopal) submitted its report on ‘Improvement in the functioning of Panchayats’ on July 19, 2018.  The participation of local people for development of rural areas through the Panchayati Raj System was provided in the Indian Constitution through the 73rd amendment.  Key findings and recommendations of the Committee with regard to the functioning of panchayats include:

Devolution of powers: Local government, including panchayats, is a state subject in the Constitution, and consequently, the devolution of power and authority to panchayats has been left to the discretion of states.  The Ministry of Panchayati Raj has issued comprehensive guidelines for the effective functioning of panchayats.  However, the Committee noted that the mandatory meetings of panchayats were not taking place and had poor attendance, especially from women representatives.  The Committee recommended that state governments should put a quorum in gram sabha meetings for participation of panchayat representatives, including women.
