Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Panchayati Raj System
Explanation
The statutory beginning of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, which granted constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions, began with the 64th Constitution (Amendment) Bill. This Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha in May 1989 by the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. However, it lapsed because it was not passed by the Rajya Sabha. Thereafter, the 72nd Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 1991 was passed by both Houses of Parliament and was enacted as the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992.
