Abstract

“India has a long tradition of Panchayati Raj (Third Federal Tier) and after 73rd Amendment Act it has raised the capability of the decentralization policy in India. Today most of the Panchyati Raj leaders are taking keen interest in policy making at the grassroots level for the betterment of the villagers. Nowadays the process of decentralization has increased the capacity of PRIs (Panchayati Raj Institutions) in throughout India. However, Rajasthan is the first state to adopt Panchayati Raj, but after the enactment of 73rd Amendment Act it has gained uniformity throughout India solving the problems at the local level by the local people. That is why most of the scholars assume the fact that the New Panchayati Raj is more capable and it has more capability and compatibility for the rural development plans and policies to execute with more and more efficiency. Thus, the present research paper highlights some theoretical aspects of New Panchayti Raj as the third federal tier to implement the development policies made by our government for the villagers.”
