Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Part IX

The Indian Constitution's Part IX addresses the Panchayati Raj system in rural areas.

  • It includes definitions of terminology related to a panchayat's composition, duration, reservation, powers, and other aspects.
  • One of the primary goals of Panchayati Raj is rural development, which has been implemented in all of India's states with the exception of Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram, as well as all of the Union Territories with the exception of Delhi and a few other places. 
  • These domains consist of:
    1. The states' scheduled areas and tribal areas
    2. The Manipur hill region, where a district council is in place, and the West Bengali Darjeeling district, home of the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council
