Balwant Rai Mehta Committee is related to

Local Self Governance/Panchayati Raj

The correct answer is Option (1) → Local Self Governance/Panchayati Raj

The Balwant Rai Mehta Committee, appointed in 1957, is closely associated with the establishment of the Panchayati Raj system in India. The committee recommended a three-tier structure of rural local governance — village (Gram Panchayat), block (Panchayat Samiti), and district (Zila Parishad) — to promote democratic decentralization and involve local people in decision-making and development activities. These recommendations laid the foundation for the formal introduction of the Panchayati Raj Institutions in India.
