The 73rd Amendment Act of 1992 has added a new Eleventh
Schedule to the Constitution. This schedule contains 29 functional items of the panchayats. It deals
with Article 243-G. The act provides for a three-tier system of
panchayati
raj in every state, that is,
Panchayats at the village, intermediate, and district levels. Thus, the act brings about uniformity in
the structure of Panchayati raj throughout the country. The act provides for the reservation of seats for scheduled castes and
scheduled tribes in every panchayat (i.e., at all the three levels) in the
proportion
of their population to
the total population in the panchayat area. The act provides for the reservation of not less than one-third of the total number of seats for women
(including the number of seats reserved for women belonging the SCs and ST). Election of Panchayats is to be held under the supervision of State Election Commission. Hence all the statements are correct.
