Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 20 lakh.
The 73rd Amendment Act of 1992 provides a constitutional framework for the establishment of a three-tier Panchayati Raj system in states. This system includes Gram Panchayats at the village level, Panchayat Samitis at the intermediate level, and Zila Parishads at the district level. However, this three-tier structure is mandatory only for states having a population of more than 20 lakh (2 million). States with populations below this threshold may opt for a two-tier system. This amendment aimed to empower rural local bodies by granting them constitutional status, ensuring democratic decentralization and active participation in governance at the grassroots level.
