Such questions are made for enhancing the self creative skills and should be tried answering on your own. However, here are a few points that will help you in framing your answer:
- Panchayats have existed in India since ancient times.
- These village assemblies were instruments of self governance.
- They managed key affairs of village.
- Traditionally elders of the village were parts of panchayats.
- They also settled disputes between villagers.
- They continued to exist during the British rule in India.
- However, due to lack of financial powers or revenue collection streams during British era, they had only moral persuasive powers instead of real administrative powers.
- In the post independent era, on recommendations of Balawant Rai committee, panchayats were re-organised as units of self governance.
- In 1992, through 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act Panchayats were made constitutional status.
- Today, they function as instruments of decentralisation.
