Q. The primary objective of the Panchayati Raj system, as envisioned in the Indian Constitution, is to facilitate which of the following?
1.People’s participation in development programs.
2.Political accountability of the bureaucracy.
3.Democratic decentralization of power.
4.Direct financial mobilization for the Central Government.
Select the correct answer:
Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation:
The core goals are People’s Participation and Democratic Decentralization. While it aids accountability, it is aimed at the political participation of the masses, not just “accountability of bureaucracy.” It is certainly not for “financial mobilization for the Central Government” (which is the opposite of decentralization).
