Q2
Indian PolityPanchayati Raj & Local Government
The Panchayat System was introduced after this Amendment of the Constitution:
  1. a.65th Amendment
  2. b.68th Amendment
  3. c.72nd Amendment
  4. d.73rd Amendment

Answer: (D) 73rd Amendment

The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 (in force April 1993) added Part IX and the Eleventh Schedule, giving constitutional status to Panchayati Raj. The 74th Amendment, not the 72nd, did the same for municipalities; the 65th and 68th amendments deal with unrelated matters.
