Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2 and 4 only
The correct answer is 2 and 4 only. - The fundamental object of the Panchayati Raj system is to ensure
- People's participation in the development
- Democratic decentralization.
- The 73rd constitutional amendment has made the following provisions mandatory:
- Every registered voter in the electoral rolls of the village is part of the village assembly. Hence option 4 is correct.
- Democratic Decentralisation was the main reason for the local self-government which came to be known as Panchayati Raj Institutions. Hence statement 2 is correct.
- Financial mobilization was never in provisions of the Panchayati raj system for the establishment of Panchayati Raj.
- Local financial mobilization (by way of octroi taxes etc. ) is the outcome of the establishment of the PRIs, not its objective.
- Political accountability can be ensured in any system which is democratic or rule-based, it need not necessarily be via a local body.
- Simply the provisions of the 73rd and 74th constitution amendments have been centered around 3D's (Delegation, decentralization, and devolution).
- Delegation:
- Transfer of administration power.
- Decentralisation:
- It is the reality that has been achieved, includes the transfer of administration and financial power.
- Devolution:
- It is the dream to be achieved in the future, includes the transfer of power to local bodies.
