The Panchayati Raj  system  has  been  structured  according  to  the  relevant  provisions  in  the  Constitution. Article 243G of the Constitution allows discretion to the States in the matter of devolution of powers  (Functions,  Functionaries  and  Finances)  to  Panchayats  including  distribution  of powers among the various tiers of Panchayats. Because of differential in the devolution/distribution of powers, the functioning of Panchayati Raj system varies from State to State.

(c) & (d): No.  Article 243(G) of the Constitution mandates preparation and implementation of plans/schemes for economic development and social justice by Panchayats.  Through this process, Panchayats are expected to evolve into institutions of local self-government.  There is substantial devolution of funds exclusively to Gram Panchayats by the Fourteenth Finance Commission, which are to be utilized through preparation of Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) keeping in view the local felt needs.  Thus GPDP provides an opportunity to vitalize Gram Panchayat, the most critical tier of Panchayati Raj system. It has also provided an  opportunity  for  involvement  of  community  in  setting  local  developmental  agenda  and finding local solutions to development issues.

- (e) : No.
- (f) : In view of reply to part (e) above, does not arise.
