Panchayat Raj is a system of :

  • A.Local government
  • B.Local administration
  • C.Local self-government
  • D.State government

Answer: C

Panchayat Raj is a system of local self-government.

Panchayati Raj, given constitutional status by the 73rd Amendment Act, 1992, is a three-tier system of elected bodies at village, block and district levels. The people of the area elect their own representatives and govern their local affairs, which is what makes it self-government.

'Local government' and 'local administration' can describe bodies run by officials appointed from above, which lack the element of self-rule. Panchayats are institutions below the State government, not the State government itself.
