How many subjects are entitled and listed in the Indian Constitution for Panchayat?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) 29

Key Points:

• The Indian Constitution, under the Eleventh Schedule, lists 29 subjects for Panchayats.
• These subjects outline the areas over which the Panchayats have authority to plan and implement programs related to economic development and social justice. This schedule was added through the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992.
• This schedule includes crucial subjects including the authority of Panchayats, rural development, eradicating poverty, markets, roads, and clean water, among others.

Information booster:

The following operational elements, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Panchayats, are listed in the eleventh schedule of the Indian Constitution:

Agriculture, especially the expansion of agriculture

•    Soil conservation, land reform implementation, land consolidation, and land enhancement.
•    Poultry, dairying, and animal husbandry

It is expected that the subjects covered under the eleventh schedule of the Indian constitution are made to ensure the development of the rural India.
