Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act

The Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act establishes a framework for local self-governance in rural areas of Rajasthan. It creates Panchayats (village councils), Block Councils, and Zila Parishads (district councils) to empower local communities to manage development, resources, and public services. The Act defines the organization, functions, and election processes of these bodies, aiming to promote democratic participation, accountability, and decentralized decision-making at the grassroots level. It ensures villages have a voice in planning and implementing policies related to health, education, agriculture, and infrastructure, fostering inclusive development in rural Rajasthan.
