what is Panchayat raj class 10th level definition
Answers
Explanation:
Panchayati Raj system is a three-tier system in the state with elected bodies at the Village, Taluk and District levels. It ensures greater participation of people and more effective implementation of rural development programmes.
Panchayat Raj is a system of governance in which gram panchayats are the basic units of administration. It has 3 levels: Gram (village, though it can comprise more than one village), Janpad (taluka or block) and Zilla (district).
The term "panchayat raj" is relatively new, having originated by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru during 1958. Raj literally means "rule". Mahatma Gandhi advocated Panchayti Raj , a decentralized form of Government where each village is responsible for its own affairs, as the foundation of India's political system.
The leader of the Panchayat is called the Mukhiya or Sarpanch.
