Which type of 'Panchayati Raj System' was recommended by the Balwant Rai Mehta Committee?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Three-level (three-tier)
The Balwant Rai Mehta Committee (1957) recommended “democratic decentralisation” through a three-tier Panchayati Raj: the gram panchayat at the village level, the panchayat samiti at the block level and the zila parishad at the district level. Rajasthan was the first state to adopt it, at Nagaur on 2 October 1959.
