Answer»

The Recommendations of Ashok Mehta Committee :

In order to study the working system of the Panchayati Raj institutions and suggest necessary changes in their current structure, the Janata party government formed the Ashok Mehta Committee in December 1977. This committee submitted its report in August 1978 and made 132 recommendations for reviving and strengthening the decadent Panchayati Raj System in the country.

Its two major recommendations are as follows :

1. a three-tier system can be removed and a two-tier system be adopted. Mandal Panchayat should be formed on 15,000- 20,000 population and the Gram Panchayat should be terminated. The district should be considered as the first level of decentralization. 

2. All the officers, including the District Collector, should be kept under the Zilla Parishad.
