Question

is panchayati raj the best form of local government? answer in40-50 words​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is ur answer mate,

It is the oldest system of local government in the Indian subcontinent, and historical mentions date to the 250 CE period.The word raj means "rule" andpanchayat means "assembely”(ayat) of five (panch). Traditionally, these assemblies settled disputes between individuals and between villages.Mahatma Gandhi advocated panchayat raj as the foundation of India's political system. It would have been a decentralised form of government where each village would be responsible for its own affairs.The term for such a vision was Gram Swaraj ("village self-governance"). Instead India developed a highly centralised form of government.However, this has been moderated by the decentralisation of several administrative functions to the local level, empowering elected gram panchayats.
