520			_aThe concept of Panchayats as institutions of self-government has been in vogue since the Vedic times. The constitution of India incorporated it as a directive principle and finally in 1993 it was inserted in the Constitution as Part IX creating a system of democratic self-governance of enormous size giving every rural resident voter in the country a say in the governance at the village, block and district level. The Panchayati Raj (PRI) System consists of the Gram Sabha, three tiers of Panchayats covering every village in the country and District Planning Committee, collectively known as “Panchayati Raj Institutions” (PRI). They cover all rural voters, whose number is estimated to be 640 million.- Reproduced
