The term Panchayati Raj was coined by our first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who favoured the idea of village republic.Gandhiji realized the importance of village Panchayat as an important instrument of rural development, promoting democracy at grass-root. His term for such a vision was “Gram Swaraj” (village self governance). According to him, “if the village perishes India will perish too. It will no more be India. Her own mission in the world gets lost.” The main objective of this paper is to understand the PRI’s from historical perspective and the changes after the implementation of 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act (CAA) in India. This Research Paper is based on secondary sources and the data is collected from Books, Journals, Articles, etc.
