Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A, C, E Only

The correct answer is Option (2) → A, C, E Only

Social welfare responsibilities of the Panchayats include the maintenance of burning and burial grounds, recording statistics of births and deaths, establishment of child welfare and maternity centres, control of cattle pounds, propagation of family planning and promotion of agricultural activities.

The development activities include the construction of roads, public buildings, wells, tanks and schools. They also promote small cottage industries and take care of minor irrigation works.

Why the other options are incorrect:

• B. Making amendments to the Constitution: This is not a function of Panchayats. Constitutional amendments are the purview of the Parliament.
• D. Framing rules for the state: Framing rules for the entire state is the responsibility of the state legislature, not local Panchayats.
