The basic purpose of Panchayati Rajya is :
Answer: C
The basic purpose of Panchayati Raj is democratic decentralization.
The Balwantrai Mehta Committee (1957) recommended a three-tier system of elected bodies at village, block and district level so that power and responsibility for local development would pass to the people themselves. The 73rd Constitutional Amendment of 1992 gave these bodies constitutional status.
Panchayats may levy some local taxes and run employment schemes, but these are functions, not the basic purpose. Law and order remains with the state government and the police.
