2. INTRODUCTION
When the panchayat raj is established, public opinion will do what violence can never do. —
Mahatma Gandhi
• Panchayati Raj Institution (PRI) is a system of rural local self-government in
India.
• Local Self Government is the management of local affairs by such local bodies
who have been elected by the local people.
• PRI was constitutionalized through the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act,
1992 to build democracy at the grass roots level and was entrusted with the
task of rural development in the country.
• In its present form and structure PRI has completed 26 years of existence.
However, a lot remains to be done in order to further decentralization and
strengthen democracy at the grass root level. 2

solution to their local problems locally and
