National Panchayati Raj Day
Context
The Ministry of Panchayati Raj commemorates 24th April of every year as the National Panchayati Raj Day (NPRD).
About the Panchayati Raj Day
- April 24, 1993, marks a pivotal moment in the history of decentralization of power to grassroots levels with the formal establishment of Panchayati Raj.
- On this significant date, the 73rd Constitutional Amendment of 1992 was enacted into law, ushering in a new era of local governance.
- Panchayati Raj, a system of local government in India, operates through three tiers:
- Gram Panchayat: Serving as the village council, this constitutes the most fundamental level of local governance.
- Block Panchayat: This council oversees a cluster of villages, providing governance at a broader level.
- Zila Panchayat: At the apex, the district council governs a larger geographic area, ensuring coordinated administration within a district.
