Assessing the Impact of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment on Panchayati Raj: A Two Decade Retrospective

Country | India |
Abstract | The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992 marked a significant milestone in India's journey toward decentralized governance by strengthening Panchayats—local self-governing bodies—across village, intermediate, and district levels. This paper critically evaluates the Amendment's impact on Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) over the past two decades, analysing its achievements, challenges, and areas needing reform. By examining government reports, academic studies, and case examples, the study investigates how the Amendment has reshaped local governance, particularly in financial devolution, political empowerment, and social inclusion for marginalized groups, including women and Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. It also assesses the role of Panchayats in executing central and state-level schemes, navigating political dynamics, and ensuring accountability in governance. Additionally, the paper highlights persistent issues such as inadequate infrastructure, political interference, and resource limitations, which hinder the full potential of the reform. |
