Ours is a vast country. It has town and villages. Therefore, many panchayats must exist. Village Panchayat is the root of Panchayat Raj system. It provides the basic facilities for the village people. The 73rd constitutional Amendment Act was passed by the Parliament in April 1993. The Amendment‛s salient feature is the three tier system of Panchayat Raj. Panchayats have been set up in every village with 500 people and above.
