Gadgil Committee. <br\/>\n<strong>Explanation:<\/strong> The V.N. Gadgil Committee (1988) was set up by the Congress party as the Committee on Policy and Programmes, specifically to examine how the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) could be made more effective. Its recommendations became the blueprint for the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, which gave PRIs constitutional status.<br\/>\n\nFollowing are the key suggestions of the Gadgil Committee:<br\/>\n\n\u2705 1. Constitutional Status<br\/>\nPanchayati Raj Institutions should be granted constitutional recognition to ensure their protection, regular functioning, and autonomy.<br\/>\n\n\u2705 2. Three-Tier Structure<br\/>\nA uniform three-tier system across the country:<br\/>\n\nGram Panchayat (village level)<br\/>\n\nPanchayat Samiti (block level)<br\/>\n\nZila Parishad (district level)<br\/>\n\n\u2705 3. Fixed Tenure<br\/>\nThe tenure of PRIs should be fixed at 5 years.<br\/>\n\nThere should be no arbitrary dissolution by state governments.<br\/>\n\n\u2705 4. Direct Elections<br\/>\nDirect elections should be held for all three levels of Panchayati Raj bodies.<br\/>\n\n\u2705 5. Reservations<br\/>\nReservation of seats for:<br\/>\n\nScheduled Castes (SCs)<br\/>\n\nScheduled Tribes (STs)<br\/>\n\nWomen (which later became 1\/3rd of total seats in the 73rd Amendment)<br\/>\n\n\u2705 6. Functional Responsibilities<br\/>\nPRIs should be entrusted with the preparation and implementation of socioeconomic development plans.<br\/>\n\nA list of subjects should be clearly specified in the Constitution (which later became the Eleventh Schedule).<br\/>\n\n\u2705 7. Taxation Powers<br\/>\nPanchayats should have the power to levy, collect, and appropriate local taxes, duties, tolls, and fees, giving them financial autonomy.<br\/>\n\n\u2705 8. State Finance Commission (SFC)<br\/>\nA State Finance Commission should be established in every state to decide how state revenue should be shared with Panchayati Raj bodies.<br\/>\n\n\u2705 9. State Election Commission (SEC)<br\/>\nA State Election Commission should be set up to conduct free, fair, and regular elections to the Panchayati Raj institutions.<br\/>\n\nThese comprehensive suggestions addressed the political, financial, administrative, and developmental roles of PRIs, and their essence was incorporated into the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act (1992).\n\n\n\n\n<\/p> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q3.
