Correct Answer - Option 3 : 73rd

Salient Features of 73rd Constitutional Amendment:

  • Three Tier System - PART IX of the Constitution envisages a three-tier system of Panchayats, namely,
    • The village level
    • The District Panchayat at the district level
    • The Intermediate Panchayat stands between the village and district Panchayats in the States where the population is above 20 lakhs.
  • Composition - All the seats in a Panchayat shall be filled by persons chosen by direct election from territorial constituencies in the Panchayat area.
    • The electorate has been named Gram Sabha consisting of persons registered in the electoral rolls relating to a village comprised within the area of a Panchayat.
    • In this way, representative democracy will be introduced at the grassroots.
    • The Chairperson of each Panchayat shall be elected according to the law passed by a State and such State Law shall also provide for the representation of Chairpersons of Village and Intermediate Panchayats in the District Panchayat, as well as members of the Union and State Legislature in the Panchayats above the village level.
  • Reservation for women - Not less than 1/3rd of the total number of seats to be filled by direct elections in every Panchayat shall be reserved for women.

Thus, we can say that the Reservation for women in Panchayats was made in the 73rd constitutional amendment.
