520			_aThe term panchayath raj refers to the system of local self government in India. The state of Kerala follows three tier system in which grama Panchayath is at the grass root level and Arunchal Pradesh is following a two tier Panchayat raj system consists of Panchayath and zilla perished. Panchayati Raj is a fundamental aspect of India's decentralized governance system, ensuring local self-government and grassroots democracy. Kerala follows a three-tier system, comprising Gram Panchayat, Block Panchayat, and District Panchayat, which allows for comprehensive local administration and development planning. This structure facilitates effective governance by distributing responsibilities across different levels. In contrast, Arunachal Pradesh operates under a two-tier system, consisting of Gram Panchayat and Zilla Parishad. This model simplifies administrative processes while still ensuring local representation and decision-making. The variation in Panchayati Raj structures across states reflects India's diverse governance needs, adapting to regional socio-political dynamics.– Reproduced
