Answer 2

ANSWER:

Tamil Nadu is the state that provided 40% of the entire state budget to the Panchayat Raj.

EXPLANATION:

The Panchayat Raj is a 'system of local self-government' introduced in 1992 by a 'constitutional amendment'. The Panchayat system has 3 levels: Gram Panchayat, Panchayat Samiti, and Zila Parishad.

The introduction of the Panchayat system meant that each village should be 'responsible' for its own affairs.

The functions of Panchayat are:

• Construct roads, bridges, and other public facilities.
• Establish hospitals and health centers in villages.
• Supply good seeds to the farmers and educate them about modern farming techniques.
• Bring essential facilities and services to the rural population.
