Correct Answer - Option 4 : 25% of the total seats will be reserved for the candidates living below poverty line

The correct answer is 25% of the total seats will be reserved for the candidates living below poverty line.

  • 25% of the total seats will be reserved for the candidates living below the poverty line is not a salient feature of the new landmark legislation for the candidates contesting the Panchayati Raj Institutions passed by the Haryana Assembly.

    • It fixes matriculation as an essential qualification for general candidates contesting the Panchayat elections.
    • The qualification for the women (general) and Scheduled caste candidate will be middle standard or class 8th.
    • It provides that persons against whom charges have been framed by the competent court for grave criminal offences punishable by not less than 10 years of imprisonment will not be allowed to contest the elections till they are acquitted by the court.
    • Defaulters of cooperative loans will be debarred from contesting the elections to Panchayati Raj Institutions.
  • The bill was brought on the floor of the Assembly by the state’s Agriculture Minister OP Dhankar.

  • Rajasthan was the first state to establish the institution of Panchayati Raj.
    • The scheme was inaugurated by the then P.M. Jawahar Lal Nehru on October 2, 1959, in Nagaur district in Rajasthan.
  • 73rd Amendment Act of 1992 gives constitutional status to the Panchayati Raj institutions.
